2. Sustainable agriculture: Development or advancement of processes for the increased and sustainable production of agricultural products
We are interested in partnering on any topic to apply our expertise in high-performance sensors and embedded AI in the agricultural sector.
This could include the development of novel ground-based sensor systems to automatically adjust irrigation and fertilization based on intelligent predictions, hyperspectral imaging to monitor crop quality directly from farming machinery, or drones to apply biocontrol products and measure their effectiveness.
We are particularly interested in processing of sensor data "on the edge" to enable predictions and intelligent decision-making for climate smart farming directly at the point of action - in an energy-efficient way and with small bandwidth requirements!
At Fraunhofer IMS, we specialize in cutting-edge research and development, focusing on high-performance sensors and embedded artificial intelligence solutions. Our goal is to apply this expertise to the food sector, covering every stage of the food chain, from farm to fork!
