Automation,\nas a first step, and currently the improvement in the structures and growth\nsystems, genetic engineering, and the utilization of computers as controller,\nsensors and actuators, allow better results in production to be achieved. As a\nsecond step, robotics has become an important tool for the development in\ncoming years. No, in the Data Age, technologies as IoT, Big Data&#8230; and, data\nsharing can be essential tools in seeking solutions through their introduction &nbsp;in each of the phases of the value chain,\ncreating relationships among the different steps based on transparency and\nproduct and process information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this sense, our research group has the following\nresearch work-lines related with the agriculture under greenhouse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vegetable crop growth modelling <\/li><li>Climate and fertirrigation modelling and control<\/li><li>Multiobjective and hierarchical crop growth control based on economic, fruit quality, water uses efficiency, diseases or energy efficiency criteria<\/li><li>Robotization of tedious and dangerous tasks like spraying, transport or harvesting<\/li><li>Collaborative robot floats in greenhouses for transport purposes<\/li><li>Internet of Food and Big Data \u00a0techniques in the agricultural value chain<\/li><li>Control and optimal management of heterogeneous resources in agri-industrial production districts integrating renewable Energies<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC000048.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1352\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Province of Almer\u00eda, with favourable weather conditions and a proper type of low-cost greenhouse, is situated the largest concentration of greenhouses in the world (&gt;30.000 H.), being one of the main income sources of our province So, the automatization of the tasks under greenhouse is a priority research line.
