We are at the dawn of a new era: the shift from automation to true intelligence. The session delves into the promise and challenges of AI, offering an honest look at the rough edges of a developing technology. These imperfections, rather than polished demos, are where real innovation begins. This session explores how robotics and AI are transforming sectors such as healthcare, aviation, and logistics. Carlo van de Weijer, the General Manager of the Eindhoven AI Systems Institute, offers an inspiring glimpse into the future of AI and what it will mean for our future. Suzanne Verboon of NXTGEN, will give a closer look and insights on the road map of Dutch food and flower production innovations. The NXTGEN Hightech agrifood ecosystem accelerates hands-free innovations, ensures broad adoption and simultaneously improves their effectiveness and scalability Finally, we hear directly from Wageningen University’s Erik Pekkeriet and the 2024 Concept Award winner, Koppert, about the latest developments in greenhouse robotization and AI.

Remarkable trends in AI & Robotics

This session focuses on advanced automation in plant and pest monitoring. We will discuss Plantalyzer, a tomato monitoring robot for harvest forecasting, automated seedling root quality inspection in tissue culture, and automated pest species detection in greenhouses. These technologies enable scalable, efficient monitoring for improved crop management.
