Agriculture is undoubtedly a key topic for humankind's future. We are living in a world where the population is increasing fast and we need to deal with climate change and environmental issues. In this complex scenario, robotics can play a decisive role in increasing farm production and reducing costs. The challenges faced in this field are not easy. The development of autonomous robots for agriculture has proved to be complex and time-consuming. Aerial and terrestrial robots have to deal with temperature, brightness, and humidity changes. The presence of unknown obstacles is also hard and increases the robot’s perception and processing system requirements and costs. For this webinar, IEEE RAS South Brazil Chapter invited 4 researchers to share with us his experiences and views of
the robotics future in agriculture. We hope that their opinions and views can inspire other researchers to join us in this challenge!
Panelists:
Marcelo Becker - USP - Brazil (moderator)
José Paulo Molin - USP - Brazil - Precision Agriculture
Girish Chowdhary - UIUC - USA - Robotics
Olivier Ly - Bordeaux University - Robotics
Hugo Gimbert - Bordeaux University - Robotics

A webinar was held on 10 May 2020 focused on Cyber System Security
Sponsor of Organization: IEEE Robotics and Automation Society PSIT
Speaker Name: Prof. Sandeep Shukla
The topic of the webinar was “Cyber system security” and the purpose was to analyze the various threats to our cyber system and to discuss the ways of protecting our systems from various security threats. On May 10, Prof. Sandeep Shukla led a discussion with numerous participants on this important topic.
The speaker started sharing the slides and started the webinar by defining the complex networks and how computers are connected for sharing data. He further discussed the issue on digital transformation, Industrial and critical system. He discussed about the operational technology graph on SANS 2019 state of OT ,a graph on OT attack trends for the year 2019.Discussed on various actors involved in OT
He discussed various cyber attacks on Ukraine, India and Saudi Aramco. He also discussed on Covid Lock ransom ware which exploits malicious android applications, Generic model of cyber physical system and cyber vulnerabilities
The webinar was informative and information was also given on ways to protect our system and the use of graphs in the slides helped in better understanding of the topic
The webinar was attended by 350+ participants from 9 different regions which includes students, delegates and working professionals. Towards the end of the session Suraj Jaiswal asked the students to clear their doubts.
