Low-Energy Greenhouse with conceptional LED Plant Lighting
With the new Low-Energy Greenhouse, the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture has realized a pilot project, in which effective solutions for the energy-efficient restructuring of old stock research greenhouses can be tested. The new construction is oriented towards the so called ZINEG-technology (ZINEG = Future Initiative Low Energy Greenhouse) and aditionally utilizes latest generation wideband LED lamps for plant lighting.

i-LEED - Advanced cattle feeding on pasture through innovative pasture management
The aim of the project is to optimise the feeding of cattle on pasture and the management of the pasture through introduction and fusion of innovative tools like the pasture robot and the i-LEED software. Finally, a fully functional pasture robot will be demonstrated. The pasture robot will be developed based on a redesigned existing robotic platform in order to allow stable movement under difficult terrain conditions. Mehr
