Artificial nose technology in smart farming

This video explores how artificial nose technology and AI‑driven sensing systems are transforming smart farming and modern viticulture. It explains how advanced data collection, computer vision, and aroma analysis help farmers detect plant diseases, optimise crop treatment, and improve wine quality. Viewers will learn how digital farming tools - from AI‑powered cameras to spectrometric smell detection - enable better planning, healthier crops, and more efficient vineyard management.

The presentation highlights how machine learning models can identify unhealthy vine leaves, map disease spread, and support precise plant protection. It also introduces cutting‑edge aroma‑sensing solutions capable of analysing complex molecular mixtures and predicting human‑perceived wine quality. Together, these innovations demonstrate how sensing, planning, and acting form a powerful triad for future‑proof, data‑driven agriculture.
