HydroCobotics
The HydroCobotics H2020 cascade consortium is coordinated by industrial robotics company Hepenix kft., while hydroponics company Green Drops Farm kft. is also a member. Within ELKH SZTAKI, the project is coordinated by Research Laboratory on Engineering & Management Intelligence research fellow Imre Paniti. The research and development project starts on the 1st of January, 2021 and presumably concludes on the 30th of September, 2021.

The goal of this project is to integrate commercially available sensors with a robotic gripper and additional protective equipment, designed for this new application and create, and even validate a safety validation protocol for selected scenarios by applying a mobile robot platform with a robot arm in a vertically designed Hydroponic System.
Results of HydroCobotics may enhance the automation possibilities of hydroponic systems with the involvement of safe and collaborative robotics to make an already environment-friendly and efficient plant production system even more popular.
