Athena Research Center announced on 5 November 2026 that AI4GRAPES, a team from its Institute for Language and Speech Processing (ILSP), was selected as a Spark-phase winner in the European AI-BOOST competition. The team’s entry, NL2MISSION, addresses the challenge of generating missions for autonomous agricultural robots from natural-language instructions.
NL2MISSION is designed to let vineyard operators describe a task by voice, preview the proposed robot mission and approve it before execution. George Paraskevopoulos, a member of ILSP’s Department of Speech, Media and Content Technologies, is part of the team.
The team plans to validate the system on a vineyard row at Intellimech’s JOiiNT LAB. Read the Athena Research Center announcement · George Paraskevopoulos’s ILSP profile
