Projet AIGreenBots (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

AIGreenBots is a MSCA Doctoral Network that will implement inter-and-cross multidisciplinary training, career development and research collaborations for 11 researchers (ie, DCs: Doctoral Candidates), by an international and complementary partnership involving top Universities, research institutions, agriculture-related stakeholders, "living lab" and "robotic farm" infrastructures, and companies from different countries (PT, NL, UK, FR, ES), to provide tomorrow's talent with the skills and knowledge to tackle one of the major challenges of our society and the environment - agricultural robotics for precision/digital agriculture. By engaging the DCs on a research-to-industrial exploitation paradigm, the AIGreenBots doctoral-level training brings together academic and non-academic participants from different areas: robotics, automation, remote sensing for precision agriculture, reliable artificial intelligence (AI) and probabilistic machine learning, systems engineering, probabilistic inference, sensor fusion, safety and real-deployment of agricultural robotics. Collectively, AIGreenBots will work with the Researchers to develop new agri-bots platforms (WP3), robotic perception and sensor-fusion systems (WP4), reliable machine learning (WP5), decision-making under uncertainty (WP6), safety and important legislation aspects will be learned as well (WP7). Currently Europe-wide, there are no PhD training programs that focus on agriculture-robotics that expose students to such broad concepts and expertise, yet there is a rapidly growing need for that research. After completion of the project, Researchers will be fully capable of driving interdisciplinary research at the international level. Thus, AIGreenBots’s structure will serve as a European platform for outstanding doctoral training in intelligent robotics for precision/automated agriculture and digital farming.
