ROBOTICS
Durham University has secured €3.5 million through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions for two major research projects focusing on agricultural heritage and pollinator science. The FARMAR project, receiving €1.79 million, aims to preserve traditional farming knowledge using AI and robotics.
The €1.77 million NEWBEE project seeks to monitor and protect wild bee populations through low-cost camera systems and AI-driven analysis. Both projects emphasize global collaboration and interdisciplinary research.
