AI-BOOST AI Challenge Competition — Challenge 1: GenAI-Based Natural Language Mission Generator for Autonomous Robots in Agriculture

Awards up to €100,000 for GenAI natural-language control of farm robots.

Challenge 1: GenAI-Based Natural Language Mission Generator for Autonomous Robots in Agriculture is an AI-BOOST AI Challenge Competition prize, led by Consorzio Intellimech and JOiINT LAB, that awards up to €100,000 to teams using Generative AI and Vision-Language-Action models to translate natural language into executable commands for autonomous farm robots. Entry runs through a two-phase funnel

Challenge 1, led by Consorzio Intellimech and JOiINT LAB, wants teams to use Generative AI and Vision-Language-Action models to translate natural language into executable commands for autonomous robots, moving from around Technology Readiness Level 2-3 to a TRL 5 proof of concept. The initial focus is vineyard productivity, with the solution designed to extend to industrial maintenance and field operations across Europe.
