AgTech 2021 congress | Building together

16 March 2021 14:00 till 17:00 | Add to my calendar

Through plenary sessions and interactive workshops, we want to stimulate co-innovation and build concrete (public-private) partnerships. A great example of co-innovation in Agritech is discussed in this interview with Peter Jens (Koppert Biological Systems) and Frans Widdershoven (NXP Semiconductors and part-time professor at TU Delft) about the development of their smart e-nose. A similar goal is pursued in the various workshops of this congress.

6. Drone technology for Agriculture

Guido de Croon, Prof. Bio-inspired Micro Air Vehicles at TU Delft pitches the expertise of the Micro Air Vehicle Lab to kick start the discussion on technological hurdles to take in drone solutions for agriculture. This workshop sets the stakeholder scene and maps the perquisitihons of future drone solutions for agriculture.   

What can the Micro Air Vehicle Lab TU Delft i.e., do? Read more about the relevance of resource-constrained flying robots, operating operate in confined environment, such as in greenhouses to monitor crops in this article
