The recently completed AGROS validation trial is taking researchers closer to the realisation of a fully autonomous greenhouse. In the trial, an Artificial Intelligence algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning controlled the climate in a semi-commercial greenhouse resulting in a productive cucumber crop. The objective was to reach the highest possible net profit, which was determined by the balance between variable costs and benefits. On May 11, the last cucumbers were harvested in the greenhouse compartments of the AGROS validation trial and the climate control and crop management in the ‘growers’ compartment was based on current grower knowledge and best practices.
