Winner of organic agriculture and agroecology thesis award: student develops robot for labor-intensive tasks on small-scale farms together with farmers
Winner of organic agriculture and agroecology thesis award: student develops robot for labor-intensive tasks on small-scale farms together with farmers
UGent student Rembrandt Perneel won, with the development of a (semi) autonomous, modular robotic platform that can be used for weed control on small-scale farms and thus play a supporting role in performing labor-intensive tasks.
Catalyst for Innovative Mechatronics in Agricultural Technology
Main research questionCan a multi-purpose, modular, semi-autonomous, electrically powered robotic platform for various agricultural tasks be developed in a feasible and attractive way for small and medium-sized farms striving to adopt more sustainable practices? The action-oriented answer lies in the CIMAT interreg research project.
Garden 5.0
Main research questionThe Garden 5.0 project develops mission-driven STEM-trajectories where the positive impact of digitization and innovation with key technologies such as photonics, robotics, biotechnology and AI is important and necessary in order to respond to several of the United Nations' sustainable development objectives.The use of transition

Extracurricular STEAM project on sustainable technology and food systems for (young) people: Stem&Vork
We want to open-source the use of intelligent sensors, robotics, AI and big data to create new forms of urban agro-production that enable a local, resilient and fair food system.Research approachAction learning takes center stage in STEM & VORK. This project offers two linked trajectories that build on a series of introductory workshops.
Rendabiliteit van robotmelken
To robot or not to robot Jan Halewyck (Boerenbond) De melkstand en of de melkveestal is versleten of je hebt het plan om uit te breiden. Hoe ga je melken in de toekomst? Melkrobot of een variant van klassiek melken?
Energie en water bij robotmelken
Zo zal het basisverbruik van de melkrobot (bv. de driemaal daagse hoofdreiniging) onveranderd blijven, ongeacht de melkproductie. Door de efficiëntie van de melkrobot te verhogen, dalen de energiekosten per liter. Hierbij telt vooral de totale melkproductie en het aantal melkingen en niet de bezettingsgraad van de robot.
