Agricultural Robotics for Outdoor and Indoor Crop Production - Request for Submissions
CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group has launched a new book project "Agricultural Robotics for Outdoor and Indoor Crop Production, ISBN: 9781041151098". 
 
Below is the call for chapters flyer. 
Further details are available here: www.adaptiveagrotech.com/book_project/
 
AgDataBox Platform Project
AgDataBoxThe AgDataBox project is a web platform that aims to integrate data, software, procedures, and methodologies for Precision and Digital Agriculture, developed by the Federal University of Technology of Paraná (UTFPR) and the State University of Western Paraná, at the UTFPR AgroTechnologies Laboratory (AgriLab). The project, developed for on-farm experimentation, includes a set of integrated software programs (AgDataBox-API, AgDataBox-Map, AgDataBox-Mobile, AgDataBox-IOT, AgDataBox-SR) designed to provide all the necessary functionalities and methodologies so that even small producers and producers with limited training levels can analyze data from their fields, generate maps using Kriging and other interpolation methods, generate management zones using various data clustering methods and evaluate them, in addition to enabling the creation of application maps quickly and easily. The entire implemented methodology was previously approved by the scientific community of PA in several renowned journals. AgDataBox is already being used in over 40 countries by approximately 1,200 users and can be accessed free of charge through the AgDataBox - Digital Agriculture Platform. The main application for generating maps, Management Zones, and Application Maps is ADB-Map AgDataBox-Map.
 
As the project anticipates partnerships between institutions and researchers, anyone interested in participating by testing with their own data, installing the tool in their own institutional structure, or contributing new features can send an email to bazzi@utfpr.edu.br or clbazzi@gmail.com, or contact us via WhatsApp at +5545991042060. Those who simply wish to use the features simply need to create a login and access the system.
