The agricultural robotics forum is organised by French farmbot specialist Naïo Technologies for the second time in a row. The unique event aims to unite international players in agricultural robotics to discuss the sector’s challenges with stakeholders from around the world: farmers, industries, researchers, institutions, media…

The event includes internationally recognized speakers, pitches from agricultural innovators, an exhibition area and demos of agricultural robots, as well as bar-camps to discuss tomorrow’s agriculture. All FIRA events are resolutely international and open to all: they will be live-streamed in English and French on a dedicated YouTube channel.


November 29th, understanding the ‘AgRobolution’ November 29th will be dedicated to 4 different themes to help participants understand the global implications of agricultural robotics, from robots in the field to anticipating future evolutions:


• 10:30 – WHY ROBOTS ARE ENTERING OUR FIELDS
• 14:00 – HOW FARMBOTS CAN HELP IN THE FIELD
• 15:30 – FARMBOTS, THE NEW ASSISTANTS OF FARMERS
• 17:30 – MOVING TOWARDS A NEW FARMING SYSTEM
• 19:00 – Cocktail and Move Your Robot award ceremony

Barcamp day November 30th is bar-camp day, with workshops around the theme “The road towards Agricultural Robotics” to discuss the international development of agricultural robotics. All FIRA 2017 participants will be invited to work together and further develop the themes that were raised in 2016 to establish concrete actions for the field.


#FIRA17: THE SECTOR OF AGRICULTURAL ROBOTICS


“The goal of FIRA 2017 is to lay the groundwork for the international development of agricultural robotics,” explains Gaëtan Séverac, Naïo Technologies Managing Director and FIRA organiser. “FIRA is more than a farmbot event: it does provide the perfect occasion to present existing farmbot solutions, but we believe the forum should also help prepare the ecosystem to solve issues farmers are confronted with on a daily basis,” adds Aymeric Barthes, the company’s co-founder.


Even though Naïo Technologies has initiated and organised FIRA for two years now, “we really aim to stimulate the dynamics of the farmbot sector. In 2018, we hope to further extend the reach of FIRA and count on major industrial players to increase the event’s international scope,” Gaëtan concludes.
