AgRoAI: Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in the Service of Sustainable Agriculture
Трајање: 12 месеци (2026-2026)
The agricultural sector is embracing the digital and AI revolution driven by precision agriculture and increased automation. Precision agriculture uses multi-sensor systems and advanced data processing to monitor, detect, treat and intervene in plant health issues. As a country known for its agricultural potential but modest level of technological development, the goal of this project is to: significantly contribute to the adoption of robotics and artificial intelligence in Serbian agriculture, address the labor shortage in seedling care, increase efficiency and productivity in the field, reduce CO2 emissions and provide tools for pesticide-free organic production. The project aims to develop a fully automated seedling production process using robots and automated systems supported by artificial intelligence. To that end, the project methodology is designed in interconnected activities for the development of tools for Agriculture 4.0: 1) a new mechanical and electrical design of a robotic automated plant care system; 2) advanced robot control algorithms for tasks such as plant management, mobile platform positioning, collaborative robot movement; 3) state-of-the-art deep learning models for recognizing stress phenomena in plants, enabling early identification and timely response; 4) a new database of healthy plants and plants with changes; 5) a mini mobile unit for charging robot batteries using green energy through the application of solar panels. Finally, the project team will organize an educational program, including workshops for students and entrepreneurs, to raise awareness and promote the integration of cutting-edge technology in agriculture, improving sustainability in the sector. The project will mobilize young Serbian deep technology researchers to revolutionize seedling production and digital agriculture through the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence in the long run.
