Scientists at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) have developed the VineScout robot, which can help winemakers optimise vineyard irrigation as well as plan the harvest more efficiently. To do this, the VineScout autonomously measures the most important parameters of the vineyard to estimate water requirements and vegetative development, as well as to analyse the variation of the degree of ripeness within the same plot. The Beonbachtungsrobeter achieves all this by combining thousands of data from environmental, radiometric and spectral sensors, which are evaluated with an AI system. Thanks to its navigation system, it can also take samples at night.

"VineScout does not replace the winemaker, but makes his work easier. It saves him the most time-consuming part in the vineyard and provides him with accurate and quick information," stresses Francisco Rovira, director of the Agricultural Robotics Laboratory (ARL) of the Polytechnic University.
