***Keywords: Data Science, ML & AI, Digital Agriculture, Remote Sensing (IoT and IoRT), Data warehouses and analytics

***HOSTING INSTITUTIONS (36-month Double Degree)

1. Institut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement (INRAE), TSCF, Clermont Ferrand, France (18 Months).

2. Aarhus Universitet, Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Aarhus, Denmark (18 Months).

***SUPERVISORS

-Dr. Sandro BIMONTE, Dr. Antoine Dailly (TSCF, INRAE, France)

-Pr. Claus Sorensen (Aarhus University, Denmark)

***RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

The research will focus on developing and coupling optimization and simulation models for deploying a fleet of autonomous agricultural robots in a cooperative farm. Key objectives include:

-Proposing new coupling methods for models supported by assessment of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission.

-Enabling real-time decision-making for robot deployment, including managing maintenance, configuration, storage, and adapting to unexpected events (breakdowns, weather, etc.).

-Developing a visual interface for ergonomic end-users' real-time interactions.

-Providing prescriptive methods for rescheduling actions based on historical data.

***EXPECTED RESULTS

-Development of optimization and simulation models for robot deployment with new coupling methods that include human decision-making supported by GHG emission assessment.

-A human-centric tool enabling the definition of a deployment plan based on farmer needs.

-Readjustment of the algorithm for real-time planning in the event of unforeseen hazards or new demands.

-Calibration and validation of the developed optimization-simulation coupling model with a fleet of robots
