The Agricultural Engineering Department at the University of Kassel, the Kommtek company, and the Julius Kühn-Institute are working together to develop a robot for slug control in arable farming. Its aim will be to autonomously navigate arable fields using GPS, to map slugs detected, and to control slugs. It is to determine where slug hotspots are located and target such areas. Following a learning phase, the robot should be able to anticipate hotspots through machine learning.
