Somiro Project

SOMIRO is a Horizon 2020 funded project that will develop and demonstrate the world’s first energy-autonomous swimming milli-robot with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of farming in terms of carbon footprint, eutrophication and excessive use of pesticides and feed. These swimming milli-robots would cover a much larger area than stationary systems and they may serve as a stand-alone monitoring solution for indoor farming or complement drone-based remote sensing outdoors.
