About
The Farm Robotics Challenge was launched in 2023 as an innovative 4-month-long competition that invites student teams from universities and colleges across the United States to develop solutions for on-farm challenges using robotics. In its inaugural year, 19 teams from 12 universities and colleges created creative engineering solutions on the farm-ng Amiga robotic platform.
Year 2 culminated in October 2024 with winners announced at the annual FIRA conference.
For more information, please visit the Farm Robotics Challenge website. Organized by the AI Institute for Next Generation Food Systems (AIFS) and UC ANR, with support from Fresno-Merced Future of Food (F3) Innovation, this challenge presents real-life farm automation scenarios for students to gain hands-on experience with the practical application of robotics in agriculture.
