Innovative robotic system

  A demonstration of an innovative robotic system was presented at the national scientific conference “Robotics and Mechatronics 2026” organized by the Institute of Robotics - BAS. The two-day forum was opened today by Academician Chavdar Roumenin and Director Prof. August Ivanov in the “Max Planck” Hall of the institute. Control of a mobile robot powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, an electronic system for real-time monitoring and control of small ruminants, and a drone developed under a contract within the “Security and Defense” National Scientific Program are the successful projects that scientists from the Institute of Robotics discussed in their plenary presentations. Current trends in robotics are focused on the development of energy-efficient and sustainable systems, particularly in the context of service and collaborative [...]

An innovative electronic shepherd is helping Bulgarian farmers

Scientists from the Institute of Robotics at BAS have developed an innovative electronic shepherd for use in agriculture. The system for electronically counting and tracking animals -sheep and goats - has been successfully implemented on Bulgarian farms. It includes remote monitoring and guidance of the animals for regulated and systematic grazing and watering, completely replacing traditional herding. The herd’s movement is monitored remotely, and real-time information is obtained on heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and other biometric indicators without direct physical contact with the animal. The use of modern electronic tools for pasture-based livestock farming addresses farmers’ challenges related to the shortage of agricultural workers, facilitates the regulated use of pastures, helps maintain ecosystems, and increases productivity and the economic efficiency of labor in [...]
