How did we the future yesterday?? See the incredible collection developed by Alain Fraval Sensing and Perception Systems for Situational Awareness of Agricultural Robotic Vehicles This Special Issue invites original submissions addressing the study and development of sensing and perception systems to endow an agricultural vehicle with cognitive abilities to safely navigate and interact with its operational environment, with workers or other robots, as well as articles dealing with the study and development of novel data analysis techniques for crop assessment, recognition of condition using data acquired by agricultural robotic platforms, and any other relevant application of such technologies in crops and animal husbandry. Papers providing experimental evidence in the field and involving the integration of different disciplines such as engineering, mathematics/statistics, occupational safety and health, human–machine interface and ergonomics, and environmental and computer science are particularly encouraged. Contributions focusing on the development of agricultural robotic technologies to achieve the United Nations sustainable development goals, such as securing healthy and sustainable food and safe working conditions and overcoming and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic are welcome. You can have a look at the following link for complete description of the special issue.
As you see the topics included into the special issue are quite large to accommodate manuscripts on sensors, remote sensing, robotics, health and safety and many related subjects.

Are light autonomous robots the answer to soil compaction? Soil compaction has become a major issue in crop farming in recent years. Saving soils is a hot topic all over the world. The differences in yields, depending on good or bad soil management, can equate to 10-15%. See futurefarming.com Digital Plant Protection with iMETOS Digital Plant Protection helps farmers achieve bigger and better-quality yield at a lower cost.

Gene editing and new EU regulations urgently needed The Union of European Academies for Sciences applied to Agriculture, Food and Nature (UEAA) claims “that the Directive 2001/18 / EC has become unsuitable due to advances in scientific knowledge and recent technical advances such as genome editing and urges the E U Governance to review and adjust the European regulations on GMO’s to recent scientific Progress”. See ueaa.info “Europe’s Energy: a victim of clerical betrayal?” Interview with B. Durand and J.P. Riou Bernard Durand and Jean Pierre Riou, energy experts and authors of numerous articles in our columns, have just written “The treason of the clerics”, a voluminous working document on the perverse effects of the development of intermittent renewable electricity (iREl), which in Europe consist notably of wind power and photovoltaics. This 107-page document, accompanied by 30 pages of notes and references, aims to bring together the best sources to highlight the contradictions and dead ends of the various aspects of European energy policy. The two authors answer our questions here. See europeanscientist.com
