SCORPION Monthly Talks: “Map Extraction from Satellite Images”. The 6th episode is out!

The SCORPION project is launching SCORPION Monthly Talks, a monthly Podcast series, as part of its activities this year. Listeners will be able to understand the progress of the project, its findings, and advances. Each episode will involve experts from the project team, who will discuss their research and provide insights into the challenges and solutions for the viticulture industry. In addition, the content will explore precision farming, robotics and new technologies to help develop viticulture practices and ensure sustainability, productivity and efficiency.

Today’s 6th episode of SCORPION Monthly Talks, is titled “Map Extraction from Satellite Images”. Our speaker, Luís Santos from INESC TEC, is presenting the details of the process of extracting maps from satellite or aerial images for autonomous robot navigation in agriculture. The use of robots in agriculture has become essential, but in complex terrains like vineyards with steep slopes, traditional navigation tools can falter. GNSS signals can be unreliable, and
rugged terrain poses a constant threat to both equipment and crops. But here are several innovative approaches in using satellite imagery to create pre-maps for robot navigation.

Join us as we dive into the complexities and triumphs of this groundbreaking solution that adapts to a variety of permanent crops, regardless of their row shape.

Join us on the 5th episode of SCORPION Monthly Talks, titled “Interacting with ISOBUS and CANOpen networks in a Robotic Context” In today’s episode, Massimo Martelli, researcher at STEMS Institute of the National Research Council of Italy, is delving deep into the fusion of two vastly different technological ecosystems – agriculture and robotics automation. Imagine the complexity of merging the powerhouse that is the Robot Operating System (ROS) with the world of agricultural machinery and CAN networks. It’s like combining two separate universes into one!

Join us as we unravel the challenges, innovations, and surprising solutions that have emerged in this unique crossover. From the intricacies of the ISOBUS protocol to the complexities of Tractor Implement Management (TIM), we’ll explore it all.

Discover how these two ecosystems, seemingly at odds, harmoniously coexist in this groundbreaking episode of SCORPION Monthly Talks. Tune in now!

SCORPION Integration V at SYNERGY DAY: Robotics and IoT for Vineyards

SCORPION is pleased to invite you to the SYNERGY DAY that will take place in Museu do Douro and Quinta do Seixo (Portugal) on October 26, 2023.

The event is promoted by INESC TEC, InovTechAgro, SOGRAPE, and ADVID – Associação para o Desenvolvimento da Viticultura Duriense.

Integration V of the SCORPION project is going to be a final integration event under the name “Fully integration with a full long term pilot test”.

Throughout the day, the event will encompass the keynote presentations of the project partners and will be followed by three robot demonstrations.

In the framework of the event, the public demo of the SCORPION robot will be held.

Make sure you’re registered for the event via https://lnkd.in/dUpdbGXb. Registration is free but limited and subject to confirmation.

The organizers will provide the transportation between the two locations.

The detailed agenda of the event will be sent closer to the event for those who registered.

Follow our YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn channels to stay tuned on the latest updates on the project.
