AGRARSENSE: 3D Sensing for Agriculture and Forestry

3D sensing for automated agriculture and forestry

AGRARSENSE was a Horizon Europe innovation programme for smart, digitalised components and systems in agriculture and forestry. Grant agreement 101095835 ran from 1 January 2023 to 28 February 2026 under the coordination of Komatsu Forest.

Ommatidia in the AGRARSENSE consortium

Ommatidia contributed its experience in photonic sensing, parallel 3D acquisition and Laser RADAR engineering to the consortium. Grégory Pandraud represented Ommatidia at the project launch, connecting the programme with high-speed spatial measurement for outdoor automation.

Seven connected use cases

The programme linked sensor development with greenhouses, vertical farming, precision viticulture, agricultural robotics, Autoforest, organic soils and fertilisers, and water management. Together, these use cases created a practical route from sensing research to automated field and production workflows.

The AGRARSENSE framework gives agriculture and forestry teams a clear map for combining 3D perception, automation and application-specific data. Talk to Ommatidia about the sensing architecture, acquisition rate and spatial coverage for your automation programme.
