Practice Abstract - Research and innovation

Integrated robotic and software platform as a support system for farm level business decisions (ROBOFARM)

The main objective of the ROBOFARM project is to create a technology platform that integrates and harmonizes existing software and hardware technologies into a single system and makes use of robots equipped with sensors and active vision systems to collect data from the fields automatically, in order to feed a Decision Support System (DSS) for the farm management and considering the agronomical, environmental and food safety aspects. Specifically, all modules of the systems will be involved (Economic Evaluation Module, Monitoring Robotic Vehicle Tool); software packages (Farm Management Information System - FMIS, middleware distributed system); Robotic vehicle; sensors to detect the weed patches, plant growth status and if available diseases, insects; wireless communication hardware to acquire data for the determined tasks by DSS and transmit data over the Internet. The Economic Module database follows the steps which are presented in the presentations of this link: http://robofarm.unibo.it/final-demonstrat.
