Scientific communication in robotics for agriculture and industry

Work description

The work plan focuses on developing an integrated scientific communication strategy centered on robotics applied to agriculture, aligned with ongoing activities and projects at CRIIS. The fellow will begin with a review of the state of the art in scientific communication and robotic technologies for the agricultural and industrial sectors, allowing for an understanding of the current challenges of technological literacy in rural and industrial environments. Based on this analysis, a communication plan will be developed that includes accessible multimedia content—videos, animations, interactive simulations, and infographics—designed to explain complex concepts in a simple way for audiences with different levels of digital literacy. In parallel, the training will include direct contact with real robotic platforms and teleoperation methodologies used in precision agriculture and agile industry. This involvement will allow for an understanding of the difficulties and needs of operators, contributing to the creation of appropriate communication materials for users with low digital and operational literacy. The scholarship recipient will also learn audiovisual production techniques, scientific storytelling, social media management, and digital dissemination tools. Throughout the project, there will be participation in laboratory activities, field sessions, and technology demonstration events, ensuring the articulation between communication, research, and practical application. The final result will be a coherent set of content and strategies that reinforce public understanding of agricultural and industrial robotics and promote the integration of these technologies into society, contributing to increased scientific and technological literacy in the agroforestry and industrial sectors.
