Autonomous vegetable weeding robot - Dino
The Dino robot is designed to make vegetable weeding on large-scale vegetable farms easier. Its main asset is that it works autonomously, so you have more time for tasks with higher added value.
Dino is the first entirely autonomous electric robot to mechanically weed vegetable crops. The robot is designed by Naďo Technologies and has been on the market since early 2017. Today, more than 20 robots now weed our customers’ and partners’ vegetable fields in France and in Europe.

The Aerobotics solution
Aerobotics is an Ag-tech startup focused on providing tree crop protection to Growers through early problem detection and alerts. Our Aeroview platform combines weekly satellite data, drone imagery and scout information to track farm performance on a per-tree basis, allowing Growers to take a data-driven approach when optimising the health of their farm.
Our software uses machine learning to identify early-stage problems, automatically detect pests and diseases, and guide Growers to these locations.
