oooo, they have an experimental farm, with poultry too:

Starting Questions for them:
- What research are they doing with chickens?
- What kinds of robots are the agri department working on? We see they’ve done really well at the International Field Robot Event – cool!
- Do they have / know about layer chickens whose “female day-old chicks have brown down feathers and the males have yellow down feathers” (https://doi-org.proxy.lnu.se/10.3382/ps/pew282), or similar?
- possibility to make a dataset from eggs especially if they are sexing them in some other way?
- Neural network training – onsite datacentre? or using AWS or GCP?
- “Dual-purpose” chicks?
- How are they using robotics and automation in agriculture and what kind of crazy sci-fi stories can we get out of them.
- Maybe cool equipment? (e.g. hyperspectral camera…)
- How could our work be interesting for them? – public awareness on some issue/s?
