The overall objective of the Farmtopia project is to democratize digital farming by creating a paradigm shift in the way Agricultural Digital Technologies (ADSs) for small farms are created, deployed and paid for. This will be achieved by a) fostering co-creation of ADSs to ensure they will solve real problems and fit the needs of small farms; and b) lowering the cost for both farmers and ADSs providers, by creating a set of reusable software modules, a number of business and governance models, and identifying public provision of infrastructure that can enable scale-out of ADSs.
Using a multi-actor approach, Farmtopia will engage farmers, ADSs providers, farm advisors, scientists, policy makers, AKIS actors and other relevant stakeholders in 18 Sustainable Innovation Pilots (SIPs) in at least 15 countries across Europe, and guide them in co-creating, deploying and piloting innovative ADSs while designing, adapting and validating appropriate business and governance models to support them (such as the French CUMA model, which is embraced by >225.000 farmers).

To support us in our daily life, robots are entering unstructured environments which require that the exchange of skills and software with other robots. In this context, the EU-funded project euROBIN will propose a strategy for a European ecosystem of robots that share their data and knowledge and jointly learn to perform an endless variety of tasks in human environments. The project will bring together leading experts from the European robotics and AI research community to share their algorithms and data.

ARISE will make industrial HRI deployments simpler, cheaper, and more widespread in Europe by developing and demonstrating the concept of AgileHRI. On its way to materialise such a vision, the ARISE project will i) address major application challenges from today’s industry, ii) develop human-centric solutions, tools, and software modules which expand the state-of-the-art in industrial HRI, and iii) deploy industrial HRI at scale in four testing and experimentation facilities and more than 25 workplaces across Europe (FSTP Projects). The ARISE project will address these challenges using cutting-edge open-source technologies from the European innovation ecosystem and will make a significant adavance on their state-of-the-art to position Europe globally at the forefront of industrial HRI.
