Posted by timothy on from the intriguing-uses dept.

Arleo writes "Its time to bring your robot to Wageningen University for the third annual scientific field robot contest. Can your robot navigate through rows of crops or even harvest them? Tweak your robot and bring it on june the 16th and 17th. Or have a look at the photos and proceedings of last year's contests."

    Ah finally autonomous robots that do something useful instead of playing football, destroying each other or lifting the elderly.

    Last time I saw the event it was definitely worth going. But then, I passed it on my way home.

    It's not boring at all...it just had the misfortune of being posted immediately after a 'Star Wars' related story.

    Slashdotters are so predictable...
