History
Ecorobotix developed ARA as an ultra-high-precision spot sprayer. The current unit is the ARA620 S G2, and Ecorobotix states ARA units operate in more than 20 countries.
Purpose
ARA is an ultra-high-precision field sprayer developed by Ecorobotix for crop treatment.
Highlights
Development
ARA uses six camera modules combining 3D and RGB imaging to distinguish soil, crops and weeds in real time, then fires individual nozzles from a 156-nozzle bar for a 6 x 6 cm spot. Crop-specific algorithms allow selective targeting of either the crop or the weeds; where no crop algorithm exists, "all plant" and "target size" modes are available. A bottom black protective cover limits drift.
Future Roadmap
Ecorobotix continues to add crop-specific algorithms, and offers an optional fluidic kit for connecting compatible alternative tank systems.
