The ITE (ITE), leader of the innovative WatchPlant EU Project , invites you to attend an informative webinar: “WATCHPLANT Final Conference: Biosensor for In Situ Plant Biochemical Analysis – Insights for Environmental Management and Smart Agriculture” on 16th December 2024 from 10:00 to 11:30 CET. This webinar will explore the transformative role of biosensors in monitoring environmental quality through plants. As natural indicators of their environment, plants can provide valuable information on their surroundings by using advanced sensor technology. During the event, experts from CSIC-IRNAS and ITE will share insights on utilizing biosensors for environmental management and smart agriculture. Participants will also witness a live demonstration of a novel sap biosensor, capable of in situ biochemical analysis. Agenda 10:00–10:15 Opening remarks by Laura García Carmona , WATCHPLANT Project Coordinator and Head of Biosensor and Biofuel Cells at ITE 10:15–10:45 Presentation on current strategies and new perspectives for in situ plant monitoring by Virginia Hernandez-Santana , Researcher at Spanish National Research Council (CSIC-IRNAS) 10:45–11:30 Demonstration of advanced solutions for biochemical analysis with the sap biosensor device by Beatriz Lucas Garrote , WATCHPLANT Researcher and Main Researcher at ITE https://lnkd.in/dPyzfGwP https://lnkd.in/dsJi8xT4
On November 22, Robert Milijaš delivered two lectures at Prva gimnazija Varaždin . The first was for high school students participating in the Varaždin County Center of Excellence in Informatics, while the second was presented to the County Professional Council for Informatics and Computing Teachers. Both sessions took place on-site and offered an engaging introduction to programming unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The lectures highlighted the work of the Laboratory for Robotics and Intelligent Control Systems (LARICS) and showcased recent projects. Milijaš provided insights into fieldwork with UAVs, exploring their hardware, software platforms, and components. A key focus was on the Robot Operating System (ROS), its architecture, and its critical role in UAV programming. Attendees also enjoyed a live data demonstration from an operational drone on-site, offering a practical view of UAV capabilities. Milijaš concluded by sharing resources for learning ROS, encouraging further exploration in this cutting-edge field.
