The consortium is composed of 4 academic partners (Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Université libre de Bruxelles, Università degli Studi della Tuscia, Universität Trier) and 2 industrial partners (Ferrero Trading Lux S.A., Sigma Consulting).
UNIROMA - The unit specializes in control theory, robotics, and big data. The unit will develop the navigation, sensing and actuation of the ground robots. The unit will also focus on the design of allocation and sequencing algorithms for the planning of the farming operations, and on the design and implementation of an environment for data management.
Team: Prof. A. Gasparri (PI), Prof. R. Torlone, Prof. G. Ulivi, Prof. S. Panzieri, Ir. R. Carpio.

FERRERO - The unit is a research team of the group FERRERO specialized in agronomy and remote sensing applied to hazelnut plantations. The team will define the requirements for the robotized management of the hazelnut orchard. The group will contribute to the and will provide constant feedback on the real-world effectiveness of the results of the project.
Team: Dr. L. Giustarini (local coordinator), D. Galli.
