#ROSAQUA: a breakthrough in autonomous robotics for soil and water mapping

👉More information about the project: cdei.upc.edu/rosaqua/
💧In the face of drought and resource pressure, the agri-food sector urgently needs precise, easy-to-use tools to make smarter decisions and ensure long-term sustainability. 👉 Developed by the @cdeiupc.bsky.social‬ team (Alba Perez Gracia, David Caballero Flores, Carles Domenech, Nuria Rodríguez Calderón, Elena Blanco Romero, Yeray Navarro Soler, Lluis Bonet Ortuño), #ROSAQUA robot provides a smart, autonomous solution to optimize irrigation, reduce costs, and enhance sustainability. 🤖 Our robot combines mobile autonomy with advanced sensors (GPR, RGB-D, thermal, NDVI) to: ✅ Map subsoil humidity ✅ Detect main roots ✅ Monitor water stress and crop health ✅ Generate 3D soil maps for precise agronomic decisions 🙏 Special thanks to Clara Bartra, Pedro Alvarez Bretones from -ivoro.ventures, and the Xarxa X_AgriTech for their support! 🔍 We’re now seeking pilots, partners and investors to take #ROSAQUA to real-world fields. #CDEIUPC #AgriTech #Robotics #SoilHealth #SmartFarming #WaterEfficiency

📌 We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the #AGROSUMA’T project — an exciting initiative that aims to introduce adapted automated technologies in smallholder agricultural systems in Peru.
🌱 #AGROSUMA’T Project: Empowering small-scale agriculture in Peru through adapted automation 📌 We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the #AGROSUMA’T project — an exciting initiative that aims to introduce adapted automated technologies in smallholder agricultural systems in Peru. 🔵 Over the coming months, our team members Alba Perez Gracia, Carles Domenech, Elena Blanco Romero, and David Caballero Flores will work closely with farming communities in the region, alongside our key partner — Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego, represented by Ricardo Prado Gardini — to identify real needs and co-create practical, accessible solutions that make sense on the ground. 🚜 This project goes far beyond technology. It is a pathway to social transformation: fostering knowledge exchange, empowering local actors, and building a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable agriculture for the future. 🔜 Stay tuned for updates on the project! ➡ The #AGROSUMA’T project is co-funded by the Centre de Cooperació per al Desenvolupament (CCD) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, through the 0.7% solidarity campaign, and is led by CDEI-UPC Centre de Disseny d'Equips Industrials. ℹ You can learn more about our projects here: https://lnkd.in/d7VvFUyz

🌱 We keep making progress in precision agricultural robotics within the framework of the #PREVENTBot project🤖🌾 👉 More information: lnkd.in/d8K-ENNd #AgriculturalRobotics #CDEIUPC #RDIUPC #RecercaUPC
🌿 Last week we were at #Agròpolis (UPC) to continue advancing within the framework of the #PREVENTBot project. 🙏 We would like to thank the #LEGITIMADA project for their collaboration, which allowed us to access their experimental broad bean crop. This enabled us to continue training our models for: 💠 automatic plant segmentation, 💠 leaf temperature estimation using thermal sensors, 💠 and water stress assessment through the fusion of RGB-D, thermal and NDVI data. 🔍 These trials allow us to validate and expand the applicability of our models to different plant varieties, by comparing our predictions with the agronomic results from the #LEGITIMADA project. 🚀 All this contributes to our goal of developing autonomous crop monitoring solutions through advanced robotics and sensing, moving toward a more efficient, sustainable and digital agriculture. ✨ In the picture: our colleagues David Caballero Flores, Ramon S. and Pialuna Correa Varela enjoying the experimental day! 📌 Action under the CAP Strategic Plan 2023–2027, co-financed by Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación
