Objectives:

Main objective of the Project is to decrease the environmental impact related to grape production by introducing novel technologies for Precision Agriculture (PA) and validate in two vineyards in Italy and Spain the technical performance of a cost-effective and integral solution based on the implementation of a new PA system developed in a previous research project.

Activities:

The main activities in whose SeTeL is mainly involved are the following:

• Development and implementation of the prototypes of the terrestrial Rover, an innovative autonomous terrestrial electric rover moving along the vineyard equipped with multy-sensory instrumentation for proximal sensing and actuators.

• Development and implementation of a ground control station for missions control and real time location system. The system is based on MAVLINK protocols. Local proximity sensors operate independently from the remote guidance, immobilizing the vehicle when not explicitly authorized from the ground station.
