The Future of Agricultural Work

TU Delft AgTech Institute & RoboHouse organise ‘The Future of Agricultural Work’ congress on Wednesday 1 June from 13.30 – 17.30 at RoboHouse in Delft

During the congress we will present the latest TU Delft research and innovations on agricultural and horticultural robotics and automation and give you a preview of the AgTech Working Lab and current projects.

The AgTech Working Lab will be a physical location for collaboration, design, prototyping and a context-specific testing environment, where new robotic prototypes can be tested on-site in a greenhouse or open field setting. The Working Lab will be the co-creation space for companies, RoboHouse robotic engineers, TU Delft researchers and students to effectively collaborate on the most innovative agricultural robotics.

The programme of the congress is as follows:

 

 

Walk in and coffee at 13.00 - 13.30 

The doors are open at 13.00 and the first presentation of the plenary sessions will start at 13.30.
