GeoAI for Farms & SLUMs—Robotics and Remote Sensing for Pakistan’s Sustainable Well-Being
9th October 2025 (Thursday) Venue: Seminar Hall, PG Block, SEECS
Resilient Futures: GeoAI for Farms & SLUMs—Robotics and Remote Sensing for Pakistan’s Sustainable Well-Being bring together researchers, practitioners, and innovators to explore how emerging technologies can tackle the country’s most pressing challenges. This workshop showcases cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence, robotics, and remote sensing to transform agriculture by enhancing crop yields, optimizing resource use, and building climate resilience. It also highlights the role of geo-intelligence and predictive modeling in fostering inclusive, sustainable urban development—particularly in detecting and managing informal settlements. By bridging rural and urban priorities, the event offers a dynamic platform for cross-disciplinary dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration, empowering participants to leverage data-driven technologies for securing food systems, managing scarce water resources, and supporting healthier, more equitable cities—ultimately contributing to a more resilient future for Pakistan.
