Autonomous greenhouse challenge: The race continues! Yellow AI team catching up and is now second in net profit, green AI team is still first, can they keep that position? 3 more weeks to go! Learn who is the winner in our public webinar on 8 June, look a https://t.co/WjuBYaeDel

Autonomous greenhouse challenge: The race is still open! All teams are close concering total production, one AI team on top, one AI team below-but catching up, three AI teams and the reference growers in the middle. 6 more weeks to go! Who will win? More https://t.co/WjuBYaweCV

Autonomous Greenhouse challenge: Only 2 months left until end of experiment! Take a tour through the autonomous greenhouses, listen to Dutch reference growers, organizers and AI teams! Enjoy the video! https://t.co/kVtKFbSxf9

Autonomous greenhouse challenge: First publication of the status of net profit of all teams. All teams are performing well! However, nobody reaches positive values yet. Two AI teams are leading the competition. Keep going to produce tasteful and healthy tomatoes!

Autonomous greenhouse challenge: Development of fruit quality. Teams realised different flavour levels in time, calculated by WUR Flavour Model Tomato v2.1, based on measurements of Brix, acidity, juiciness and bite. Reference has highest Brix and flavour during last harvest!

[Autonomous Greenhouses International Challenge @AutoGreenhouses]

Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge: Also curious how teams are performing? See yield of cherry tomatoes. Seems that teams who started later catch up! At least 1 AI team is better than the reference!
Thanks to our sponsors Tencent, Grodan, KPN, LetsGrow, Axia Seeds and Heliospectra.

Interested in fruit quality of first harvest? Teams realized different Brix 7.9-9.0 and flavor level 74-85 (scale 0=dislike, 100=like, calculated by WUR Flavour Model Tomato v2.1). Is there a team combining highest harvest with highest quality?

[Autonomous Greenhouses International Challenge @AutoGreenhouses]

Autonomous greenhouse challenge: We now had a first harvest of cherry tomatoes in all 6 greenhouses (5 teams, 1 reference). 2 were ready for harvest last Friday, the other 4 yesterday. First harvest ranged between 0.01-0.32 kg/m2, almost all class A. Exciting times!

[Autonomous Greenhouses International Challenge @AutoGreenhouses]

Autonomous Greenhouse challenge: We are expecting first harvest of some of the teams this week. Who will be first? The reference growers or one of the AI teams? Thank you to all our sponsors: Wageningen University & Research, Tencent, KPN, Heliospectra, Axia Seeds and LetsGrow.

Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge: Curious on the crop development in our tomato greenhouse experiment? 4 weeks after planting fruits are developing well. Teams handle different lighting regimes. Do different light colors finally lead to different fruit quality?

[Autonomous Greenhouses International Challenge @AutoGreenhouses]

Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge: This is how the tomato crop looked like on the first day of 2020.

[Autonomous Greenhouses International Challenge @AutoGreenhouses]

Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge: Teams are now controlling the greenhouses with their AI algorithms remotely since ca.1 week. All plants are healthy, bumble bees are pollinating and we expect first fruits in a few weeks.
