Project Title

AI Trainer – AI-powered virtual pruning trainer for viticulture training

Project description

Proper vine pruning is crucial for the health, longevity and productivity of vineyards. Training currently takes place mainly seasonally on real vines or theoretically using textbooks. This makes training time-consuming and costly and creates a strong dependence on experienced professionals. The project aims to develop an innovative AI-supported learning platform for viticulture education. In realistic 3D environments, learners can practise pruning virtually and receive immediate AI-based analysis and feedback on their pruning techniques. An interactive avatar acts as a personal tutor and learning companion. Sustainable pruning methods, such as “gentle pruning”, are also taught. The platform is designed to enable location- and time-independent learning via web, mobile devices and VR. It will improve the quality of vocational training and contribute to addressing the shortage of skilled workers in viticulture.
