Agriculture and industries are severely impacted and/or permanently disrupted by unforeseen events, such as the crisis caused by Covid-19 outbreak, and by Government policies like Brexit that will have a longer lasting impact on migrant labour availability. As an example, it is estimated that the combination of Brexit & COVID19 will increase the cost of production of Strawberries alone by £15 million in the UK in 2020\.Simultaneously, industrial robotics or Industry 4.0 is on the rise and new telecommunication networks like LoraWan Sigfox and currently 5G are being deployed in the UK in this crucial context. The large adoption of IoT, automation and big data into agriculture and industry processes could help these sectors to recover, grow and create new opportunities by increasing productivity, tackling labour shortages and enabling control of the production lines at any time and from anywhere.E-Nano has developed an interface called O.S.C.A.R. (Optimized Smart 5G-Controlled AI Robot), a novel Wifi/4G/5G-enabled robot platform that enables robots to work in collaboration in a swarm fashion and allows analysis of the collected data from a broad spectrum of sensors embedded in the robot and in the field.E-Nano is now proposing to develop a Robotics and Artificial Intelligence system by integrating O.S.C.A.R. into a modular and multi-purpose robotic solution called Nano-Agro which will be developed within this project. The proposed system aims to operate autonomously in the field to automate predefined tasks - decreasing users' workload - while assessing the soil - supporting precision agriculture and better yield. Various specific add-ons, sensors and data analytics tools will be developed and implemented by E-Nano during this project.

农业和工业受到不可预见事件的严重影响和/或永久性中断，例如2019冠状病毒病爆发造成的危机，以及英国退欧等政府政策将对移民劳动力供应产生更持久的影响。例如，据估计，英国脱欧和COVID 19的结合将使2020年英国草莓的生产成本增加1500万英镑，同时，工业机器人或工业4.0正在兴起，在这一关键背景下，新的电信网络如LoraWan Sigfox和目前的5G正在英国部署。物联网、自动化和大数据在农业和工业流程中的广泛应用可以帮助这些行业恢复、增长并创造新的机会，提高生产率，解决劳动力短缺问题，并实现随时随地控制生产线。E-Nano开发了一种名为O.S.C.A.R.的界面。（Optimized Smart 5G-Controlled AI Robot）是一种新型的支持Wifi/4G/5G的机器人平台，可使机器人以集群方式协作，并允许分析从机器人和现场嵌入的各种传感器收集的数据。E-Nano现在建议通过集成O.S.C.A.R.开发机器人和人工智能系统。一个模块化和多用途的机器人解决方案，称为纳米农业，将在这个项目中开发。该系统的目标是在田间自动操作，以自动执行预定义的任务-减少用户的工作量-同时评估土壤-支持精准农业和更好的产量。E-Nano将在该项目期间开发和实施各种特定的附加组件、传感器和数据分析工具。
