Quinta do Ataíde, 28-31 August, 2017
The First Steering Week took place at the end of August in Symington’s Quinta do Ataíde (Portugal). On 30 August, 2017, VineScout partners held the first AGRONOMY DAY, where invitees from different backgrounds enjoyed a beautiful field day interacting with the robot, learning its basic features and asking all they wanted to know about the project and the robot. After the open-air lunch, technical sessions focused on data acquisition and interpretation took place, wrapping up this successful day with a round-table discussion and the official survey to participants.

UPV, SUN, and SYM teams joined in the vineyards of Quinta do Ataíde (SYM) to test the navigation algorithms of the robot, draft the new electronic system, and challenge robot components at temperatures around 40 º C.
The consortium got together at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain to launch the project.
