Weed location
CSIC-ICA Experimental farm
Invitation RHEA-2014 is the second international conference being fostered by the project RHEA (Robot fleets for highly effective agriculture and forestry management, FP7NMP 245986). The RHEA consortium comprises a number of research centers, universities, and companies funded by the European Commission through the Seventh Framework Programme to develop robotic fleets for weed control and pesticide management in agriculture and forestry. RHEA-2014 aims to disseminate the RHEA project results and, at the same time, to bring together academicians, researchers, engineers, developers, students and companies to share and discuss both theoretical and practical knowledge on sustainable crop protection, weed control, automation and robotics in agriculture and precision farming.
Venue RHEA-2014 will be held at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) , Institute of Agricultural Sciences (CSIC-ICA) and the School of Industrial Engineers (ETSII) of the Polytechnic l h University off Madrid d d (UPM) ( ) allll off them located in the center of Madrid. This city has an air of modernity, which contrasts with its important old town and its cultural traditions. Madrid is a city of nice monuments with places of interest such as the medieval center dating back to the Habsburg Empire and the Prado Museum.
Event structure RHEA-2014 is a special international conference that provides to attendees the opportunity of being present at the final RHEA project demonstration. The first day will be devoted to the RHEA project: final demo and technical tutorials. The second and third days will have the format of an international conference focused on presentations and discussions on new trends in mobile robotics, perception and actuation for agriculture. agriculture

Keep on your records that on the last 15 years Tropical have cooperated with at least 28 Universities, 18 research institutes and 27 research companies from all over the world for the development of the future “GREEN” products. Tropical is one of the oldest hydrogen & fuel cell companies in Europe and have already managed to design and put into production several products, which all of them have some common advantages such as being quite in operation, compact in size & light weight, produce zero-emissions, minimal maintenance, reliable & stable. Tropical is already a strong partner in European FP7 research projects having participated on several projects with outstanding results. Our expertise on different engineering sectors and our fully equipped research center is the main reason for choosing Tropical as partner. Since Horizon 2020 is up on the European Union and proposals are prepared for submission, Tropical is looking for a collaboration, being a partner on a consortium that will significantly increase its possibilities to be selected. We believe that our competencies and services can lead to a beneficial cooperation with you for your current and future projects. If you believe that Tropical can be of a help to your proposal or you would like to set up a new proposal, please contact us for further discussions on how a fruitful cooperation can proceed successfully for both sides.
