About the Smart Farming Challenge:

The Smart Farming Challenge is part of the RoboCup@Work League and focuses on autonomous mobile robotics for agriculture. Teams will develop intelligent robots capable of handling real-world farming tasks such as:

• 

  Detecting fruits and vegetables

• Assessing ripeness

• Handling crops delicately

• Navigating uneven, field-like terrain

Teams will build their robots onsite using the Studica Smart Farming Collection, a specially developed robotics kit designed for intelligent agricultural applications.
