In PinBot, VCU Robotics is, in collaboration with Noordzee International and Wageningen University & Research (WUR), developing an automated solution for pin-bone detection and removal in salmon processing.

The unique ecosystem of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and Vision+Robotics (V+R) has repeatedly proven its value in national and international research, on land and at sea.

Synthetic data the next big thing in the AI 'revolution'? Researchers Arjan Vroegop and Trim Bresilla explain why it is just another part of vision and robotics and identify 3 main ways how synthetic data combined with robotic simulation will take applications of vision and robotics to the next level.

Automated digital aerial surveys could be a transformative tool for marine biodiversity monitoring, significantly improving data collection and analysis.

"The strength of the system really lies in its simplicity. You can easily apply it anywhere in the world and even power it with a battery or solar panels," says researcher Edwin van Helmond.

There is a lot to gain from integrating computer vision and AI components from marine research into the broader Vision+Robotics team at WUR.
