NaLamKI project stands for sustainable agriculture using artificial intelligence. In this project, special AI methods are developed and adapted to questions from agricultural engineering and science. In addition, the conditions are created to make the collected data sets and AI models accessible in the form of cloud applications with open interfaces for developers and end users of smart farming solutions.
- NaLamKI demonstrates the use of artificial intelligence in (partially) autonomous agricultural machinery, among other things, to save seeds, reduce pesticide and nitrogen pollution and detect plant infections at an early stage.
- NaLamKI creates the conditions for an agricultural data space in which data sets and AI methods are managed in a scalable manner by an edge cloud. The goal is to make data and functions accessible to front-end solutions and third-party users via an open interfaces.
- NaLamKI promotes the exchange between engineers and scientists who share a common vision: to translate findings from basic research into technologies that make smart farming not only possible, but also sustainable.
Robot Makers GmbH contributes, among other things, the powerful RowCropPilot autonomy kit to support data collection via autonomous navigation in row crops. “The topic of AI is directly adjacent to our technology ecosystem. We assume that data-driven business models will play an increasingly important role in the future. Our systems already create very high-quality environmental models – practically a digital twin of the plantation – during every drive through. Using this data to document the development and derive recommendations for the farmer is a logical next step.” explains Dr. Carsten Hillenbrand, Managing Director at Robot Makers.
At the final meeting on November 11th and 12th, 2024 at John Deere in Mannheim, all results will be summarized and the economic utilization will be specified in more detail. The demonstrator based on the product RowCropPilot on Mattro Rovo will also be exhibited.
