Agricultural robots

Agricultural robots are used for the autonomous cultivation of fields or for indoor farming. Be it a harvesting robot for automated cucumber harvesting, burning weeds without pesticides or vertical farming indoors. Agricultural robots are a future technology, which is intended to allow sustainable agriculture and mass production of animal and vegetable products in urban spaces. The fact that only a small amount of land area is required for growing fruits and vegetables is only one of the advantages of vertical farming. Conventional farmland is hereby relieved, closed systems save water, year-round cultivation and harvesting are possible. Clever aloft cultivation offers many possibilities for automation.

  • Fully automatic weed killer
  • Can be used flexibly as object recognition can be expanded
  • Replaces awkward manual processes
  • Fast payback by increasing field yield
To the application example
