About RAISE 2026

Vision & Goal

Hands‑on workshop merging Agentic Robotics (LLM-driven) and VLA models for sustainable agriculture. The robot autonomously inspects greenhouses, generates field reports, and acts via natural language.

Dates & Venue

14–16 July 2026 · ISGIS, Tunisia.
Organized by RESDA (Renewable Energy & Sustainable Development Association).

Final Hackathon

Day 3: Competition — Combine planner (LLM) + executor (VLA) into one end-to-end agentic system. Prizes & recognition.
