Paris (France), 25 – 26 February 2020

The 2020 Annual Meeting of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Tractor Codes took place in Paris on 25 and 26 February 2020. The slogan for this year’s meeting was Agricultural Robots: Trends, Challenges and Opportunities. The VineScout robot was exhibited in the main hall of the OECD Conference Center from 23 to 27 February, and  the VineScout project was also presented by the coordinator to meeting participants representing OECD countries and key partners of this organization. Given that the OECD may develop a potential regulatory framework for agricultural robotics and digitalization, it was a privilege to display the VS-II platform at this annual meeting.
