This year the Event was organized at the same time as the
Joint International Agricultural Conference Wageningen. The attendants of
the JIAC congress visited the Field Robot Event during a time slot in the
program specially reserved to see the robots perform in the field. The Event
took place at the
campus site of Wageningen University and Research centre (Netherlands) from July
6 to July 8, 2009.
The Wageningen Field Robot Event shows a vision of the future of modern
precision agriculture. Right now, a small revolution is taking place. A new
breed of robots will soon be able to carry out a variety of tasks in row crops,
such as weeding, spraying and disease monitoring. Agricultural robots working in
a field, completely autonomous: the Field Robot Event proves this is possible!
Wageningen University is inviting university and school teams to enter our
annual international open-air field robot contest: the only open-air
agricultural field robot contest in the world.
The contest allows unlimited creativity: no restrictions apply to the robot
design and construction. As we have seen during the previous Field Robot
Events, our participants know how to be creative!
The Field Robot Event includes a contest, of course, but exchanging experiences
and networking are an important part of the program, too. Everyone who is
interested in robots is welcome to come to Wageningen and enjoy the Field Robot
Event.
