AI Academy 3 pm

Introduction

The ‘Predicting Crop Pests Using AI’ course offers you the opportunity to delve into a a booming sector, where the demand for experts in advanced technologies for smart farming is on the rise. In a context where the food security It is crucial to have the ability to predicting and managing pests using artificial intelligence has become essential. This course will equip you with the skills to integrate smart sensors, manage agronomic data y applying machine learning in greenhouses. You’ll learn how to implement agricultural IoT systems, you will develop skills in data collection and analysis, and you’ll find out how optimise automated decision-making for climate control, irrigation and fertilisation.

Objectives
