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.

Research suggests computer vision could lead to future improvements in health, welfare and performance of broiler chickens in the poultry sector.

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

As soon as there is direct contact between a robotic gripper and soft fruits, damages can occur. Could soft grippers shed a different light on this?

"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.

"Today's greenhouses contain more and more technology and much more is automated. These are good developments, but we mustn’t forget the human factor in these developing greenhouses," says robotics researcher Anouk Leunissen.
