The main objectives of AgroSYS are:
OBJECTIVE 1
Establishment
of a combinatorial sensing system for vineyards using UAVs’ and UGVs’ sensors and decision-making for agricultural practices (irrigation, fertilization, selective harvesting)
OBJECTIVE 2
Development
of a safe navigation system for UAV/UGV fleet operating in vineyards by integrating appropriate sensors in the vehicles and algorithms to identify and avoid obstacles
OBJECTIVE 3
Construction
of small-scale solar charging stations for electric UAVs and UGVs that will be installed in vineyard
OBJECTIVE 4
Modulation
and programming of robotic arms to connect UAVs and UGVs to the charging source
OBJECTIVE 5
Deployment
of an integrated and optimally managed autonomous fleet system of UAVs and UGVs
OBJECTIVE 6
On-site testing
in a pilot vineyard to optimize the system for at least one growing season
OBJECTIVE 7
Investigation
of the environmental and economic impact of such a system on a vitivinicultural business and analysis of the results for commercial exploitation of the system
