AI-BOOST AI Challenge Competition — Challenge 1
Awards up to €100,000 to teams building a GenAI mission generator for farm robots.
Challenge 1 is led by two Italian organisations, Consorzio Intellimech and JOiINT LAB, who supply the datasets, mentoring and a real vineyard testbed used to validate submissions. Evaluators score entries on five factors: technical strength, innovation, scalability, responsible-AI practice and how applicable the solution is in the real world. Solutions are generally expected to climb from around T…
Looking for individuals, teams, startups, SMEs and research organisations building a generative-AI system that turns spoken or multimodal instructions into ROS-compatible mission plans for autonomous agricultural robots, aimed first at vineyard productivity. Applicants need demonstrated technical AI capacity and a focus on civil-only use cases.
