A central outstanding issue of current agricultural research is the extent to which the topic of digitization will fundamentally create opportunities for the agriculture of the future, which includes the areas of communication, automation to autonomization, sensor technology, etc. One of the key questions here is what potentials arise from the development of new types of agricultural machinery (machine concepts & size, degree of automation, process technology) and this primarily in combination with alternative crop production systems (type of cultivation, combination of plants, etc.). The overriding goal is to develop solutions for the challenges arising from the three pillars of sustainability, i.e. the ecological, economic and social aspects of sustainability. A great need for research has been identified, particularly in fundamental investigations in the field of long-term use of corresponding cooperative robot systems, in which several robots with the same or even different functions are working together to achieve a common goal under real conditions. Studies published today severely restrict the research area in terms of time, location and function. A transferability of the research results to real field use cannot be guaranteed because of the range of different boundary and disturbance variables that can occur here. In order to be able to carry out such fundamental investigations and to collect and document reliable results, the "Flexible Research Field for Autonomous Mobile Machines" (acronym: FAMM) is applied for as a large-scale facility.FAMM consists of several technical units. The combination of these equipment make it possible to conduct field studies in various complex, primarily agricultural scenarios, but also, for example, on large construction sites. The basic concept is based on the creation of technical possibilities to measure scenarios and test objects, to document the tests and to directly evaluate the test data for the purpose of direct use, e.g. for controlling test objects. In order to meet the requirements to be able to investigate different scenarios, the entire technology (server, communication, positioning, measurement and documentation technology as well as the energy supply) is to be accommodated in a vehicle converted to a mobile control center. To transport the robots as well as the remaining equipment, a larger vehicle trailer is also planned, which is also equipped with the above-mentioned basic technology and creates the conditions to investigate even extensive or locally distributed scenarios. FAMM's unique selling point is its ability to carry out tests at locations with no or only very limited infrastructure, thus enabling research and development of agricultural systems away from idealized test fields under real conditions.

当前农业研究的一个中心突出问题是数字化主题将在多大程度上从根本上为未来农业创造机会，包括通信、自动化到智能化、传感器技术等领域。这里的一个关键问题是新型农业机械的发展潜力（机器概念和尺寸、自动化程度、工艺技术），这主要是与替代作物生产系统（种植类型、植物组合等）相结合。首要目标是为可持续性的三大支柱，即可持续性的生态、经济和社会方面带来的挑战制定解决方案。已经确定了研究的巨大需求，特别是在长期使用相应的合作机器人系统领域的基础研究中，其中具有相同或甚至不同功能的几个机器人在真实的条件下一起工作以实现共同的目标。目前发表的研究在时间、地点和功能方面严重限制了研究范围。由于不同的边界和干扰变量的范围，可以发生在这里的研究结果的可转移性，以真实的现场使用不能得到保证。为了能够进行这样的基础研究并收集和记录可靠的结果，申请了“自主移动的机器的灵活研究领域”（首字母缩写：FAMM）作为大型设施。FAMM由几个技术部门组成。这些设备的组合使其能够在各种复杂的，主要是农业场景中进行实地研究，但也可以在大型建筑工地进行实地研究。基本概念是基于创建技术可能性来测量场景和测试对象，记录测试并直接评估测试数据以直接使用，例如用于控制测试对象。为了满足能够调查不同场景的要求，整个技术（服务器、通信、定位、测量和记录技术以及能源供应）将被容纳在转换为移动的控制中心的车辆中。为了运输机器人以及剩余的设备，还计划使用更大的车辆拖车，该拖车也配备了上述基本技术，并为调查广泛或局部分布的场景创造了条件。FAMM的独特卖点是它能够在没有或只有非常有限的基础设施的地方进行测试，从而能够在真实的条件下远离理想化的试验田进行农业系统的研究和开发。
