Joint Lab for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science

The University of Osnabrück and the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB) in Potsdam are now jointly training doctoral students at the interface of agricultural science and artificial intelligence. The cooperation is supported by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture (MWK) funded through the zukunft.niedersachsen program of the Volkswagen Foundation with around 6.7 million euros. The associated partners are Agrotech Valley Forum, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. The core objective of the Joint Lab KI & DS is to develop artificial intelligence (AI) and data science (DS) expertise, especially for agricultural technology issues.

Joint Lab Members Host the 21st Expert Discussion on Sensor Networks in Osnabrück

On September 2 - 3, the expert discussion on sensor networks took place in Osnabrück, organized by Joint Lab members Thomas Hänel and Nils Aschenbruck. Organized for the 21st time, it is one of the most traditional events of the section “Communication and Distributed Systems” (KuVS) of the German Informatics Society.

Thilo Steckel from CLAAS gave a keynote speech on networked sensors in agriculture, while Olaf Landsiedel spoke about the “Artificial Intelligence of Things”. There were also 12 presentations, mainly by doctoral students from various research groups in the field of sensor networks, including Lennart Kaiser from the Joint Lab.

Focus Workshop “Digital twin as a tool for agriculture"

Where is the potential for digital twins in agriculture?  Where can they be used and what functions do they perform to simplify agricultural processes and provide precise digital support?

On June 18, the Agrotech Valley Forum organized a focus workshop to discuss and evaluate the application possibilities and functions of digital twins in agriculture. Both companies and scientific institutions were invited to this event. The Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and the Joint Lab KI & DS provided a solid foundation with scientific presentations that offered an excellent basis for discussion.
