The process of soldering has remained much the same since then. For tickets or more information, go to 1896, a patent for electric heating apparatus, now commonly known as a soldering iron, was granted. Farmers, start-ups, investors, and corporate decision-makers will gather at Wageningen University on May 30th and 31st for a program featuring showcases and pitches by innovative start-ups. Their new system ended up with a score of 103%!” F&A Nextį&A Next is the event for innovation in the agrifood sector and is organized by Rabobank, Wageningen University, and StartLife. That’s something a robot can do more efficiently than humans. We also advised an orchid grower about a robot that could count the buds and detect defects. They were considering deploying large robots, but we advised them to use a system with small robots that would transport fewer raw materials at a time. “One business that processes raw materials wanted to create a safer work environment following a fatal accident with a forklift. They can also call upon Rabobank to help make the initial investment.” RoboValley has already helped several F&A entrepreneurs to try out robotics. Challenge participants can develop this in more detail with advisors from Accenture. The next step is to investigate what the business case might look like. Then we explore the possibilities for their companies through personal interviews and company visits. For the Challenge, we first bring entrepreneurs together and inform and inspire them with the latest trends in robotics. That’s why we created the Rabo Robo Challenge. You can see them thinking: what will work best at my firm, how much will it cost, how high is my risk?” Still, they often find it difficult to see exactly what it could mean for their own company. As soon as entrepreneurs see what is possible - through us or at another company - they begin to get excited. We start by helping people realize what robotics can do for their company or sector. “We often need to give entrepreneurs a little push, and that’s what RoboValley is for. Twitter Linkedin Mail Isn't it a huge step for entrepreneurs? “As soon as entrepreneurs see what’s possible, they begin to get excited” - Arthur de Crook, Ambassador of RoboValley We’re already seeing this in the dairy, fodder, and asparagus sectors: robots make the work less dull and dirty.” Robotics can make a business more appealing. This could significantly accelerate the development of harvest robots.” Why would an average farmer start using robots? “One breakthrough is the advancements in artificial intelligence, which enables a robot to ‘see’ better and better, and to have ever-improving hand-eye coordination. These examples show that the development of robotics is rapidly gaining momentum.” What technological breakthroughs are driving this momentum? They allow farmers to intervene more effectively and using lighter vehicles. A third example is AeroVinci’s autonomous flying drone colonies that monitor crops on the land. With this data, plant breeders can grow better crops in future.
The robot also checks the quality of each head.
Another inspiring start-up is FTNON, which makes a robot that processes iceberg lettuce in a smart way: the robot looks through the head of lettuce, detects the core, and cuts around it fast without wasting any of it. They’ve managed to robotize the thinning of lettuce plants using drones and ground robots, which leads to a dramatic reduction in the amount of herbicides required. “A good example is Blue River Technologies. In the future, there will be swarms of drones hovering above us to monitor things like air quality, temperature and seat occupancy.” At F&A Next, you will be talking about start-ups that are pioneers in robotics. There are endless possibilities for applications that combine these, and they can take on many different forms. Technologies like the internet of things, artificial intelligence, data analysis, drones, and blockchain are more and more interlinked. “We’re in the middle of an enormous expansion in robotics. To what extent will robots affect the average entrepreneur? Twitter Linkedin Mail When people think about robotics, their first thought is usually robots in the auto industry.
