Abstract :
The goal of the Project group created by U.P.M. in collaboration with foreign universities, research institutions and companies is the development of an intelligent mechatronic system for the use of precision and sustainable agriculture. The project as a whole includes the following components: photographing and decoding of the soil surface; fertility determination and formation of the fertility map; generation of the controlling signal for mechatronic dosing device; intelligent dosing of fertilizers; simulation, prototype and testing; human-machine interaction and training preparation.
