The Ecorobotix ARA is a weeding robot by Ecorobotix, priced at $100K-$150K. It is commercially available and deployed on farms worldwide. Compatible crops include sugar beets, rapeseed, cereals, sunflowers.
Ecorobotix ARA
The Ecorobotix ARA is a tractor-mounted precision spot-spraying system that uses AI-powered plant recognition to reduce herbicide use by up to 95%. With 16 high-resolution cameras and 156 individually controlled nozzles across a 6-meter working width, it identifies weeds at a resolution of just 4 cm² and applies micro-doses of herbicide only where needed. This ultra-targeted approach dramatically cuts chemical costs and environmental impact while maintaining effective weed control in sugar beets, rapeseed, cereals, and sunflowers. The ARA can cover approximately 30 acres per day and integrates seamlessly with standard three-point hitch tractors. Developed in Switzerland, it has been commercially deployed across European farms seeking to meet increasingly strict herbicide reduction regulations.
