About
SoilSoul introduces a self-driving robot that autonomously monitors and analyses soil parameters across large fields. Equipped with edge computing, advanced sensors, and computer vision, the robot navigates rough terrain, providing real-time insights into soil salinity and other critical factors. Farmers can use a connected mobile app for setup, monitoring, and visualisation of results. Blockchain integration enhances transparency and trust in agricultural practices. This innovative solution helps farmers optimise resource use, improve crop yields, and reduce time and costs, while ensuring sustainable soil management

Julian Heuer
Collège des Ingénieurs
Julian studied chemistry at the University of Münster, Germany, where he received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees. Julian then decided to pursue a PhD in Chemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, specializing in the field of organic semiconductors. During his PhD, Julian was selected to participate in the Science&Management program of the College Des Ingenieurs, while pursuing an MBA. Within the "Innovation 4 Change" program of CERN, Julian won with the idea of Soil Soul, which was developed together with his team members Pier, Gretta and Giorgia.
