Qingdao Daily/ Guanhai News October 27, 2021 Today, sponsored by the China Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association, china agricultural machinery industry association, China Agricultural Mechanization Association, china agricultural machinery society jointly co-organized, China Agricultural Engineering Society, China Agricultural Agricultural University to undertake the "2021 China Agricultural Robot Competition" in Qingdao successfully concluded.
Based on the urgent need for intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment in the development of modern agriculture in China, as well as the key tasks of agricultural mechanization in the "14th Five-Year Plan", this competition provides a platform for cultivating innovative talents who know and love agriculture, encourages scientific researchers to innovate agricultural robot technology, develop mature commercial products, and serve rural revitalization.
Since the launch of the competition, it has received widespread attention from the academic and research circles, attracting many domestic universities and scientific research institutions to sign up for the competition, and through layers of competition, more than 20 teams have finally entered the finals. Guangzhou Jifei Technology, as the supporting unit of this competition, provided 8 of the teams with the Extended Edition of jifei R150 agricultural unmanned vehicle as a robot walking platform.
The theme of this year's competition focuses on precision agriculture, using the plant protection method of target spraying to replace the traditional continuous coverage plant protection method to improve the utilization rate of pesticides. The participating teams need to develop an automatic target spraying robot, according to the simulation environment, independently plan the operation path, automatically identify the different location markings on the simulated plant, and spray accurately according to the requirements. This competition is the first time since the establishment of the competition in 2017 that it has been held outdoors, and the venue area has expanded by dozens of times compared with previous editions, which is closer to the real scene and brings a lot of challenges to the students who have not yet graduated.
In the future, the demand for compound talents with interdisciplinary disciplines in China's agriculture will further increase, and this competition also hopes to provide new ideas for the talent training model of various universities.
At present, urbanization and population aging have led to a shortage of labor in agricultural production and a substantial increase in labor costs, and the use of mechanized and automated equipment instead of agricultural labor has become an inevitable development direction. The rapid development of artificial intelligence and a new generation of information technology has made the wide application of agricultural robots possible. Through this competition, we will form a joint force of industry, education and research, jointly excavate and cultivate talents for the innovative development of future agricultural robots, and realize the industrial transformation of agricultural scientific research results as soon as possible. The introduction of talents and key technologies in the smart agriculture industry is bound to promote the digital upgrading of China's agriculture and serve the revitalization of rural areas.
"As a robot and artificial intelligence technology company, Jifei has been committed to the cultivation of agricultural innovation talents for many years, and has successively carried out school-enterprise cooperation with colleges and universities across the country to assist in the construction of intelligent robot colleges, open unmanned agriculture-related majors and courses, and further promote the development of the combination of production, education and research." In the future, Jifei will, as always, cooperate with industry associations, scientific research institutions, and colleges and universities to jointly improve the level of agricultural modernization and development and help rural revitalization.
