About the Competition

An applied platform for developing smart devices and efficient solutions for agrotechnical processes

Competition Overview

In this track, participants develop prototype systems designed to solve real agricultural challenges. The primary focus is on precision, safety, energy efficiency, and rational resource use.

Teams are expected to deliver the solution from concept to field validation: mechanical design, control algorithm tuning, field testing, and evidence-based presentation before the jury.
