Overview
The SOPHIA infrastructure provides the ability to test and evaluate mobility algorithms embedded on a ground robot. Mobility algorithms concern the classical robotics functionalities of mapping, localisation, SLAM, and navigation. The ground robot is equipped with an array of sensors, including a camera, LiDAR, IMU, and RTK-GPS for ground truth evaluation. The service proceeds in three stages. Firstly, we evaluate the algorithm using representative datasets. After that, the algorithm is integrated into a ROS2 architecture and evaluated with the local agrifoodTEF test infrastructure (various areas are possible). The performance of different attributes of the algorithm is assessed using quantitative and qualitative metrics. Benchmarking could be proposed as a complementary option to position the performance of the proposed algorithm in relation to the current state of the art. The final step involves field testing under real conditions at a specific end-user or customer site using the mobile living lab, which consists of a mobile laboratory deployed in the field and connected to the real robot for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
More about the service
Discover more about our service, including how it can benefit you, the delivery process, and the options for customisation tailored to your specific needs!
Through this service, you can test and evaluate your AI and robotic solutions for mobility in agricultural and agrifood applications. This allows you to assess how your solution compares to state-of-the-art technologies.
The results will help you determine the reliability of your system and pinpoint its limitations. By identifying these gaps, you can refine and improve your solution, ensuring better performance and higher efficiency in real-world agricultural settings.

Our service provides a detailed analysis report on mobility algorithm testing, with potential comparisons to state-of-the-art solutions. The service may require repetitions based on customer needs or anomalies, and it typically takes from a few weeks to 2-3 months, depending on customisation, location, and seasonal constraints.
To ensure timely delivery, customers should contact us at least two months in advance. Feasibility may be affected by terrain, weather, and permissions. Customers need to provide clear evaluation criteria and necessary access to ensure smooth execution.
