Ecorobotix Develops New Crop Algorithms for its AI-Powered Software
These new algorithms mark a significant advancement in crop compatibility, offering new application possibilities for the ARA ultra-high precision sprayer.
Ecorobotix, a sustainable Swiss Agtech firm, active in the field of AI-based weeding, proudly announces the ongoing development of its newest AI software algorithms, now available as "beta versions" for testing by Ecorobotix clients. These new algorithms mark a significant advancement in crop compatibility, offering new application possibilities for the ARA ultra-high precision sprayer.
Which new crop algorithms are under development?
• Dicots in wheat
• Carrots
• Volunteer potatoes in chicory
• Dock + Thistle
• Cotton
• Soy
Clients with an ARA sprayer can access these crop algorithms free of charge for a limited time. New clients in 2024 can also benefit from this opportunity. Clients interested in testing these algorithms are encouraged to reach out to the Ecorobotix sales team to update their ARA.
Among the algorithms, the carrot algorithm stands out as particularly robust, already garnering praise from early adopters, with recent feedback showcasing impressive results in a client's field in France.
Trials from France with ARA in Carrots
Ensuring the versatility of the ARA sprayer across various fields and crop types is a top priority for Ecorobotix, necessitating the regular introduction of new algorithms. Ecorobotix's Plant-by-Plant AI Software boasts a comprehensive range of approximately 20 different crop algorithms, offering versatility and adaptability across various spraying methods. In addition to herbicides, the ARA sprayer can precisely apply insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and biostimulants, reducing up to as much as 95% of these chemicals. For crops not covered by specific algorithms, the software's All-Green algorithm or Row Algorithm provides adaptable solutions.
The ARA sprayer is available in approximately 15 European countries, Canada, South America, and the United States. Those interested in harnessing the power of ARA can reach out to the Ecorobotix sales team for inquiries.

How to overcome GNSS limitations with RTK correction services
Although GNSS offers ubiquitous coverage worldwide, its accuracy can be hindered in some situations - signals can be attenuated by heavy vegetation, for example, or obstructed by tall buildings in dense urban canyons. This results in signals being received indirectly or via the multipath effect, leading to inaccuracy, or even blocked entirely. Unimpeded GNSS positioning in all real world scenarios is therefore unrealistic - creating a need for supporting technologies, such as real time kinematic (RTK) positioning and dead reckoning, to enable centimeter-accuracy for newer mass-market IoT devices.
