Led by the University of Osnabr\u00fcck, the five-year project involves the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Osnabr\u00fcck University of Applied Sciences, Agrotech Valley Forum e.V., Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig, the Johann Heinrich von Th\u00fcnen Institute, the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy e.V. and the Netzwerk Ackerbau Niedersachsen e.V. are also participating in the project.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are setting new standards with the new AI Real-World Laboratory for Agriculture,&#8221; said Prof. Dr. Susanne Menzel-Riedl, President of the University of Osnabr\u00fcck, at the kick-off event in the Osnabr\u00fcck Castle. &#8220;After all, agriculture faces a future full of challenges. I am not just talking about the highly problematic effects of man-made climate change. This is exacerbated by steadily rising production costs and an alarming shortage of skilled workers. There are tasks to be tackled that require different perspectives. And this is precisely why all the scientists involved in the project contribute such diverse expertise that one can truly speak of interdisciplinarity in action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Dr Joachim Schachtner, State Secretary for Science and Culture in Lower Saxony, added: &#8220;The AI Real-World Laboratory for Agriculture and the two joint projects are conducting research that is extremely important for Lower Saxony as the number one agricultural state. We hope to gain insights into how the transformation to a sustainable agricultural and food system can be achieved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next year, an agricultural research farm for testing and validation \u2013 the FieldLab Agrar \u2013 is to be established and brought to life in the Osnabr\u00fcck region. &#8220;As a first step, we want to test semi-automated technology as a focus of our work, while also keeping an eye on the economic components,&#8221; explains Prof. Dr. Tim R\u00f6mer from the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Osnabr\u00fcck. Agricultural equipment is expensive \u2013 instead of purchasing a new tractor outright, the possibility of retrofitting existing technology should therefore be explored.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the scientifically supported use of AI is also finding practical application in agriculture is particularly important to the researchers: &#8220;We want to engage in dialogue with companies and vocational schools, and we can also very well imagine demonstrating the application of the latest technologies to vocational and technical school teachers,&#8221; says R\u00f6mer. The AI Real-World Laboratory for Agriculture is intended to be a platform that closely links science, practice and education.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, office space and storage facilities will first be created and more staff recruited, with the recruitment process being interdisciplinary \u2013 in addition to computer scientists and mathematicians, people from agricultural science or business studies courses as well as technicians are also being sought. Lawyers also play a very important role in the RLA, as the further development of the legal framework for the use of AI and robotics in agriculture is one of the core objectives of the research project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press release from the University of Osnabr\u00fcck Can artificial intelligence &#8230;
