VINEROBOT: VINEyardROBOT
The VineRobot project designed and developed a novel use-case agricultural robot under the scope of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), and equipped with several non-invasive sensing technologies to monitor the following parameters:
• Grape yield
• Vegetative growth
• Water status
• Grape composition
The VineRobot may provide key information regarding vineyard parameters much faster than manual solutions and at higher resolution, in a more flexible manner and with lower costs than aerial scouting technology carried out by drones or planes. Final users receive updated information concerning their vineyard status through an application (mobile, tablet, computer), as simple maps. The proposed agricultural robot will allow for revolutionary and conclusive decision-making to optimize vineyard management and to drive agronomical fundamental decisions.
The robot work in the following way:
1. The robot monitors viticulture parameters on-the-go: grape yield, vegetative growth, water status and grape composition.
2. Images acquired, and data generated by the VineRobot are processed and sent to grape¬growers.
3. Final users receive real-time data in specifically developed app for tablets, computers and smartphone devices.
4. Vineyard management optimization and grape quality improvements.
