  • Call For Papers:
  • A very important part of the Workshop are always the two poster sessions. They give all participants a unique opportunity to learn about the work of their colleagues. I therefore would like to urge you to incite the researchers in your group to prepare a poster for the Workshop.
    If you intend to present a poster at the IAP workshop, please send to Geert De Cuber (gdcubber(@)etro.vub.ac.be) the following information before Monday, November 2 2 (final deadline !) This will allow us to provide you with the final programme before the Workshop.
    - Title (in English)
    - Authors + short affiliation (ex. KULeuven/PMA)
    - Summary (approximately half a page)
    You can send it as an attached Word document or directly included in the email.

  • Venue:
  • VUB

  • Keynote lecture:

  • Agri-Robot, the Third Generation - What is Food Traceability Based on Automated Agriculture? -
    by Prof. Naoshi Kondo
    While Prof. Kondo was an Associate Professor at Okayama University, Japan, he developed many agricultural robots and wrote a book entitled 'Robotics for Bioproduction Systems' (ASAE, 1998). He however wanted to realize his primary school dream "To substitute autonomous agricultural robots for farmers" and as such moved to industry in 2000. Since then, he has commercialized the fruit grading robot and several automation systems. He is currently a director of SI Seiko Co., Ltd, Matsuyama, Japan, and is still challenging commercialization of a harvesting robot. He is currently spending a sabbatical year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL, USA.
