TP 01: Use AI-systems (machine learning, deep learning and neural network approaches) to accelerate the digitisation in the agri-food sector
Topic 2: Development of an Autonomous Hybrid Agro-Robot for Liquid Digestate Fertilization Under Soil Surface
The project aims to develop a hybrid (electric/biogas), autonomous, subsoil liquid fertilizer robot prototype that has map-
based variable rate application capability that provides advantages of liquid farm and biogas fertilizers and will
transform into an economic value due to its high organic matter and nutrient content by the systematic injection of
biogas plant waste water and liquid farm fertilizers, which are an important environmental pollution factor.
Ankara University Faculty of Agriculture, which joined to Turkish higher education with a new discipline and approach in 1948, has made many contributions to the development of nation’s agriculture; played important roles in education of Agriculture Engineers and many highly qualified scientists. Beginning from its first establishment, more than 20.000 engineers graduated from the faculty, and thousands of research papers, theses and articles were published.
Today, with more than 500 decares of the campus land, research and application farms, research stations, experienced academic and administrative staff, Ankara University Faculty of Agriculture is the leading education and research institution of Turkey.
