We warmly invite you to the fourth session of the Tech Talks series, in which we explore the power of AI and robotics in agriculture. These lectures are designed to inspire and inform about groundbreaking technologies that are changing the way we grow, harvest, and distribute food. From precision farming to automated harvesting systems, how can digital innovations contribute to a more efficient, sustainable, and resilient agricultural sector?
Lecture4:
Open-Source Technologies for Small-Scale Farming:
The Open Agri Project
The Open Agri project proposes an innovative approach to developing technologies for small scale agriculture. We will describe the motivation for the approach taken in the projects, and the different software services offered by the project. We will explain the architecture and approach, and how these are supposed to lower the overall cost for solution providers to assemble specific solutions. We discuss some of the challenges, and how the pilots in the project have used (or not used) the software developed.
Further more we discuss the embedding of this software in the wider Linux sponsored Agstack initiative.
Prof. Christopher Brewster will be our keynote speaker and is a leading researcher in the field of emerging technologies and AI applications, with joint positions at Maastricht University and TNO. He heads several European research projects and combines technical expertise with a keen eye for social impact and ethics.
Whether you are a technology enthusiast, researcher, or agricultural professional, this lecture offers valuable insights into the fundamental systems that support the future of smart agriculture.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn, network, and be inspired!

The Roboticalab is made possible in part by the North Limburg Regional Deal. This deal focuses on health in the broadest sense of the word, such as healthy agriculture and horticulture, sustainability, prevention (health/social), combating subversion, and a healthy cross-border business climate. The cabinet has made €17.5 million available for North Limburg in two tranches. This amount will be doubled by the Province of Limburg and the North Limburg Region!
This means that €35 million is available from the government, together with investments from partners, to support projects that contribute to a healthy future for North Limburg.
