Paris, France and Madrid, Spain – April eight, 2021,
Atos currently announces that it is coordinating and actively contributing to the European job “FlexiGroBots”. This initiative aims to empower robotic-makers, engineers and service companies to develop and deploy multi-robotic methodsfor the agri-meals sector to guidance farmers in their everyday function. Inside the framework of the Horizon 2020 application, the job will acquire an modern system to aid the use of robotics by a few significant-scale pilots across Europe.
The adoption of new systems in the agricultural sector has elevated in new many years, unleashing a new paradigm: “agriculture 4.” where by robotics, AI and automation participate in a essential role in crop administration and precision agriculture[1] by addressing authentic-time decision creating and monitoring requires. Nevertheless, present-day robotic methods are lacking adaptability as they are built to carry out really specific missions and are not in a position to tackle other responsibilities nor cooperate with other robotic systems, foremost to a deficiency of ROI for farmers.
The FlexiGroBots job will run around 36 months with the purpose of establishing and validating an open up system which supports the development of versatile and heterogeneous multi-robotic methods that help multi-robotic cooperation and autonomy. Robots incorporate UAVs (unmanned aerial motor vehicles) and UGVs (unmanned ground motor vehicles).
Inside FlexiGroBots, the Atos analysis and innovation team acts as the job coordinator, guaranteeing the execution of the planned actions and the in general monitoring and supervision of the job. Atos will support supply the architecture and requirement investigation, guide the reference architecture and synchronize the a few pilots. It acts as a technological leader and key contributor in the advancement of robotic mission manage heart capabilities for the structure, scheduling and supervision of heterogeneous multi-robotic operations, which includes robotic products and services enabled by Computer system Eyesight procedures and in geospatial knowledge investigation. As a member of the Worldwide Data Area Association (IDSA), Atos also functions on the advancement of knowledge area enablers for the knowledge administration of an industrial knowledge area personalized to the agricultural context, making it possible for protected knowledge trade across numerous stakeholders inside of the agri-meals sector.
