This is also achieved using data transmitted by satellites, which recognise certain climatic conditions and thus indicate the need for artificial irrigation, for example. Another application is sensory AI systems that can objectively assess the taste of grapes and wine and recognise characteristics that determine quality.

Thorvald - combating mildew

Thorvald, a vineyard robot developed in Norway by Sagarobotics, specialises in agricultural applications. At the US winery Willamette Valley Vineyards in Oregon, it is used to combat the fungal disease powdery mildew using UV-C light. This was actually developed for disinfection during the coronavirus pandemic. It can be used to kill viruses and other microorganisms such as fungi in a natural way without the use of chemicals. This eliminates the need for sulphur and fungicides. The robot carries out the treatment at low speed and at night in order to bypass the natural UV resistance of mildew. It is therefore much more efficient and cost-effective than a human-controlled...
