About Dahlia Robotics
Dahlia Robotics GmbH develops and manufactures AI-controlled hoe control systems and inrow hoes for mechanical weed control in professional arable and vegetable farming. The AI-based image recognition identifies the root point of the crop plant and enables precise inrow hoeing at speeds of up to 6 km/h. The system is available as a retrofit module for existing hoeing equipment and can be integrated into hydraulically operated tractor attachments in cooperation with agricultural machinery manufacturers. It supports crops such as sugar beets, maize, lettuce and cabbage; new crops can be integrated within a few days. The machines are available as 6-row units with up to 3 m working width as well as 12-row versions with 6 m working width, and operate around the clock, even at night or under heavy weed infestation. At the headquarters in Seeshaupt, the company's engineers offer personal consulting and implementation support, including for special requirements such as automatic singling.

Technical Characteristics
The image recognition works without manual recalibration of color values, even at night, at low sun angles or under heavy weed infestation. The housings are IP68-protected, and the sliding frame is automatically controlled even on side slopes.
