Safety for Autonomous Tractors & Field Robots in the Agrifood Sector
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The slides were presented during the webinar "Safety for Autonomous Tractors & Field Robots in the Agrifood Sector", presented by Johannes Zuser and moderated by Marie Wenzlaff, both from Josephinum Research. They introduce the principles of Safe Agricultural Automation. As robotics and autonomous machinery enter viticulture, horticulture, tree crops, and arable farming, new safety challenges arise in unstructured and dynamic environments. The slides provide an overview of the current state of automation in agriculture, present selected state-of-the-art robotic solutions, and explain the relevant EU frameworks and standards for autonomous machinery.
