Welcome to the Agri-Food Robotics Online Conference “Global food challenges and real-life robotic applications”

We would like to invite engineering researchers and students to take part in the Agri-Food Robotics Conference that will be happening online (Zoom), 15-16 May 2025.

A purpose of this conference is to figure out in what way Robotics and other modern technologies can help humankind to address global food challenges which are becoming fundamental to the planet’s existence.

By exploring related to Agri-Food industry research topics brought up in presentations and panel discussions, the conference will aim to address problems arising from climate change and unsustainable agricultural practices and highlight importance of developing modern technologies that may help to illuminate food shortages and soil degradation in future.
