The RoboCup Smart Farming Collection is the official kit that will be used by teams for the RoboCup@Work League which will focus on Autonomous Mobile Robotics in Agriculture.
Autonomous mobile robots are revolutionizing agriculture by enhancing efficiency, precision, and sustainability. Robots perform tasks such as planting, weeding, harvesting, and monitoring crop health using advanced sensors, AI, and GPS navigation. They reduce labor costs, optimize resource use, and minimize environmental impact by applying fertilizers and pesticides with pinpoint accuracy. Additionally, autonomous drones, robots collect real-time data, helping farmers make informed decisions to improve yields and sustainability.
RoboCup Teams will build a robot onsite using the RoboCup Smart Farming Collection. They will be allowed to bring a maximum specified weight of 3D printed and acrylic parts to complete their robots. The kickoff event will be in Germany in March with the final international event, RoboCup 2025 Salvador, July 15th to 21st in Bahia, Brazil.
