Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge Winner on the Power of Artificial Intelligence

In 2018, five teams grew cucumbers in a ground-breaking Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge international competition. The twist: only one of the teams consisted of experienced human growers operating their greenhouse compartment manually. The remaining four teams consisted of international experts in the fields of horticulture and artificial intelligence (AI). They worked to develop AI solutions to manage their crops remotely and autonomously. The goal of the competition, the world's first Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge, was to drive breakthroughs in sustainable food production.
