Purpose & Scope
This on-demand training explores how robotics and AI are transforming viticulture and other labour-intensive farming sectors. It covers the challenges faced by growers, the potential of automation, and how AI enhances robots’ ability to recognise problems, people, animals, and objects.
Participants will see real-world examples, including the DIONYSOS viticultural robot, and learn about technical approaches such as 3D-LiDAR, anomaly detection, SVMs, and autoencoders, highlighting how these tools improve efficiency, precision, and sustainability.
