The Laboratory of Robotics and Internet-of-Things (IoT) for Smart Precision Agriculture and Forestry was established in 2013, with the mission of developing robotics, automation, and IoT based solutions, to improve the levels of smart precision (“right time, right amount, right place”) agriculture and forestry, profitability, and automation in three main environments: Permanent Crops (such as steep slope vineyards, olive groves, tree fruits), Forest biomass harvesting, Protected Cultivation (conventional and urban). This laboratory is developing its RTD activities based on a ten-year roadmap, primarily aligned to European reality (societal challenges), European agendas ( euRobotics, FCT Research and Innovation Thematic Agenda for Agrofood, Forestry and Biodiversity, strategic approach to EU agricultural research & innovation ), FAO’s agricultural agenda (Food and Agriculture Driving action across the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development), and to the TEC4AGRO-FOOD Innovation Area agenda (TEC4AGRO-FOOD is INESC TEC’s Innovation Area for Agro-Food and Forestry).

I am thrilled to share that my latest research, "Grapevine Inflorescence Segmentation and Flower Estimation Based on Computer Vision Techniques for Early Yield Assessment," has been published in Smart Agricultural Technology by Elsevier. 🔬 Key Highlights: - Benchmark of robust computer vision models for accurate segmentation of grapevine inflorescences and flower detection. - Achieved high accuracy (F1-Score > 90%) in flower detection for early yield estimation, paving the way for non-invasive, scalable solutions in precision viticulture. - Validated across grapevine varieties, ensuring applicability in real-world vineyard conditions. This research, conducted under the Wine4cast project (https://lnkd.in/dDEDGgwu), marks a significant step toward automating and optimizing yield assessment in viticulture, providing valuable tools for enhancing vineyard management practices. 📄 You can access the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/diFt3ACj A heartfelt thanks to my co-authors, Filipe Neves dos Santos and Mario Cunha, and to the institutions that supported this work, TRIBE LAB @ INESC TEC and Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto | FCUP.

Last Friday, our team at TRIBE LAB @ INESC TEC came together for our monthly TRIBE Meeting. This month’s session focused on enhancing safety awareness and preparedness. 🆘 As part of our ongoing commitment to a secure and resilient work environment, we conducted a series of simulations and drills designed to sensitize and train our collaborators to handle potential emergencies effectively. These scenarios not only help us build confidence in our response strategies but also strengthen our collective ability to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in the lab. A huge thanks to those responsible for organizing this meeting: Leandro Rodrigues, Francisco Oliveira, Rui Coutinho, Isabel Pinheiro, Pedro Moura, André Baltazar, and to everyone who participated! #Safety #Emergency # #TRIBELab #INESCTEC #Teamwork
