This project aims to revolutionise the way high-value horticultural crops such as grapes, berries, and other fruits are grown by developing and implementing a precision farming ecosystem. The ecosystem consists of three main components: image spectral analysis for monitoring crop health, precision manipulation and perception system with virtual reality interface, and cloud-connected AI.
The initial research and trials will address the viticulture industry. The project involves a collaboration between Extend Robotics (ER), Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and a UK vineyard, Saffron Grange (SG).
