We are hosting the Nature Robots Autonomy Days at the Coppenrath Innovation Centre (CIC) in Osnabrück. Two days, two focuses — for machinery manufacturers, research groups, start-ups and everyone who would rather see autonomy on a machine than on a slide.
Day 1 — Interconnecting People & Ideas (16 November, from 13:00)
Organised together with Netzwerk PhytoPhotonik and AgriFlexBot: round tables, speed dating and speed ideation, an in-house exhibition, and time to meet people from industry, start-ups, research and partner networks.
