Call for abstract

All contributions falling within the scope of the scientific topics are welcome. Research projects in Agricultural Robotics can potentially address the following topics:

  • Technical requirement for agroecological routes
  • Human/robot interaction
  • Evaluation of robots for achievement of agricultural works
  • Situation awareness and environment recognition
  • Mission planning and decision making
  • Advanced control of off-road robots
  • Robotic safety in natural environment
  • Robots (and human) cooperation

Based on abstract submissions the scientific committee will select the contributions for the 15 minute oral or poster presentations. The selected projects will be announced in the official programme of the event. Projects that are not selected may still be presented in the posters area. Attendees whose poster and presentation submissions are accepted will benefit from free registration for the entire conference. All presentations will be recorded and broadcast after the event on the World FIRA website.

Session #1: Taking part of robots to achieve agroecological routes

Keynote

Beyond the automation of agricultural vehicles, robots offers new opportunities to change practices, especially regarding agroecological principles. However, such practices also require new robotic functionalities whose maturity has not yet been demonstrated. This session is dedicated to investigated the need for robotics in agroecological practices and investigate how the robot may contribute to reduce environmental impact of agriculture, and how to evaluate such benefits.

Opening: The international Agricultural Autonomy symposium

Keynote

Since the first robots were used in the fields, nearly 10 years ago, safety has become the most important topic for both manufacturers and users. The robotics companies work closely with advanced technologies to avoid any human issues when it comes to autonomous vehicles.   How safe are autonomous vehicles for farming operations and farm employees? Where do  we stand at the legislative level ?   The 1st edition of The International Agricultural Autonomy Symposium is a good format for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences and co-build the next steps of the AgRobot deployment.

Session #2 - Environment recognition for agricultural robot decision

Keynote

In agricultural context, robots have to face different kind of task and situation. Whether to adapt behavior to different situations or for safety purposes, it appears necessary for robots to be able to perceive and understand the environment around them. This session aims at investigating the different solutions allowing a robot to be aware of the different situations it can encounter and have an overview of decision making mechanisms.

Session #3 - Integration of robots in the farm and human/robot integration

Keynote

Progresses made by roboics allow to see more and more robots in fields to help farmer in their everyday life. However, the integration of robots into farm management systems, as well as the appropriation of these new technologies, still raises a certain number of questions. In this session, the actual use of robots in task plaification, as well as the communication capabilities will be discussed. In particular, the problem of interoperability and the way farmers handle robotics technology will be investigated. This point may also be linked with the topic of safety and legal aspects.
