The Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), established in 1920, stands as Greece’s leading academic and research institution dedicated to advancing agricultural science and technology. With a strong tradition in agricultural engineering and innovation, AUA is committed to bridging classical farming practices with cutting-edge digital solutions.

Within the AgriBot project, our team drives research and innovation in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence, aiming to equip farmers with practical and sustainable tools. The work centers on intelligent machinery, precision spraying systems, advanced sensing technologies, and AI-based decision support. These solutions are designed not only to enhance productivity and reduce chemical inputs but also to safeguard natural resources and limit environmental impacts.

“At the Agricultural University of Athens, our team harnesses AI, robotics, and augmented reality to transform weed management — reducing herbicide use, protecting the environment, and empowering farmers with smarter, more sustainable tools.”
