INTERREG-SUDOE Agrobotics-ditwins Project: Ecosystem to promote circularity and agro-robotics through the use of digital twins

The European Union has set itself the challenge of becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, through the "European Green Deal," where the environment and agriculture are key areas. In this regard, 25 countries signed the declaration "A smart and sustainable digital future for European agriculture and rural areas," which emphasizes reducing the environmental impact of agricultural activities and enhancing production security through the use of digital technologies, where robotics and artificial intelligence are essential.

This has led to the concept of "Smart Agriculture" or Agriculture 5.0, a model that is difficult for SMEs in the agricultural sector of the SUDOE region to adopt due to the technological risks involved. These risks stem from technologies that are not yet mature enough, coupled with the high investment required. This situation is particularly acute in the case of robotic technologies, which require highly customized solutions. Therefore, this will constitute the challenge that the consortium behind this proposal will address collaboratively.
