FRUCTHOR-IA

The FRUCTHOR-IA Project has received support from the European Interreg Sudoe program, co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). It is an international initiative involving organizations from Spain, France, and Portugal, with the aim of developing solutions based on artificial intelligence and autonomous robotics for advanced crop monitoring and human-robot collaboration in agricultural tasks.

Project Objectives

Agerpix participates in this consortium led by the Center for Automation and Robotics (CAR-CSIC), alongside key partners such as CATEC, ITCL, ESTIA, Chambre d’agriculture de la Dordogne, CeDRI – IPB, the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu, and the Association of Municipalities of Cova da Beira.

The goal of FRUCTHOR-IA is to promote a smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable agricultural model by applying cutting-edge technologies that enable the digitalization of agricultural processes in real environments. Autonomous robotics and artificial intelligence will be key to improving productivity, reducing uncertainty, and optimizing resource use—particularly in rural areas of southwestern Europe, where major production opportunities coexist with significant challenges.

Expected Impact

Through international cooperation and applied knowledge, the project will contribute to the sustainability and competitiveness of the agri-food sector, fostering an open innovation ecosystem that supports territorial cohesion and the development of new opportunities in rural environments.

At Agerpix, we contribute our expertise in computer vision, AI, and data analysis to strengthen this production model, supporting the transition toward more digital, precise, and environmentally friendly agriculture.
