AI.Land 


AI.Land was initiated in 2020 from the scientific environment of the MASKOR Institute for Mobile Autonomous Systems and Cognitive Robotics at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences.

The company was founded on the basis of a combination of many years of research in the field of autonomous systems and the practical agricultural experience of its founder, Josef Franko.


From the outset, the aim was to put automation solutions for organic farming into practical use and thus contribute to the technological advancement of agriculture.
