Get Ready To See Farming’s Next Frontier at World FIRA 2024
December 18, 2023 World FIRA, the leading international event for agricultural robotics and autonomous solutions, will open its eighth edition from February 6-8, 2024 at the Agrobiopole in Toulouse, France.
With robots now available for all sectors, World FIRA is a unique opportunity to discover robots with multiple functions in the field. There are also some major new features on the program.
Bots in the Field
The agricultural robotics market continues to expand, offering ever more autonomous solutions to the challenges of food sovereignty, labor shortages, and ecological impact.
With more than 600 robots in use in crop production in France in 2023 – there were only 100 in 2018 – divided into 25 different models and a global market expected to reach $40.1 billion in 2028, World FIRA offers participants the opportunity to come and discover them all in one place over three days.
Dozens of robot manufacturers will be on hand to present their latest advances, including: Yanmar, Agrointelli, Bluewhite, Continental, Crover, Naïo Technologies, EXXACT Robotics, Léger Innovation, SITIA, Odd.Bot, Osiris Agriculture, Pats, Robotic Perception, Slopehelper, Softirob, Ullmanna, Afara, Alpha unmanned systems, K.U.L.T., Pixelfarming, AgXeed, Stout, Aigro, AVL Motion, Nature Robots, and more.

The 1st International Symposium on Agricultural Autonomy
As the event that brings together the agricultural robotics community on an international level, World FIRA is launching the First International Symposium on Agricultural Autonomy. On Feb. 8, 2024, this forum for discussion and reflection will provide an insight into the challenges of autonomy in agricultural robotics and feedback from users on the ground: how governments, unions, and associations are working to provide the best regulatory framework for the development of agricultural robots.
The first edition of the International Agricultural Autonomy Symposium will be an opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, and co-construct the next stages in the deployment of agricultural robots.
Co-organized with AXEMA and Grand Défi de la Robotique Agricole, three workshops will be held throughout the day to challenge manufacturers and legislators on the challenges ahead.
