    Agricultural technology is under pressure due to unsolved farm successions, labour shortage and climate protection goals. Precision farming and smart farming are expected to have a high impact on sustainability on a long time scale. The Fraunhofer lighthouse project ""Cognitive Agriculture"" (COGNAC) is working on increasing the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural processes by developing a living digital ecosystem called Agriculture Data Space. A short introduction to parts of the ecosystem such as the ADS-enabling platform and the automated charging field robots are presented.

    If a natural disaster like an earthquake or an accident in a chemical or nuclear plant hits a populated area, rescue teams have to get a quick overview of the situation in order to identify possible locations of victims, which need to be rescued, and dangerous locations, hich need to be secured. Rescue forces must operate quickly in order to save lives, and they often need to operate in dangerous enviroments. Hence, robot-supported systems are increasingly used to support and accelerate search operations. The objective of the SENEKA concept is the situation responsive networking of various robots and sensor systems used by first responders in order to make the search for victims and survivors more quick and efficient. SENEKA targets the integration of the robot-sensor network into the operation procedures of the rescue teams. The aim of this paper is to inform on the objectives and first research results of the ongoing joint research project SENEKA.
