E-TERRY

Summary

About

About E-TERRY

E-TERRY combines an adjustable electric implement carrier with machine vision for in-row weed control. The robot changes its height and track width to match crops and beds, and the hoeing configuration can work across up to six rows. Vision classifies crops, weeds and obstacles, while interchangeable tool attachments accommodate different soils and growth stages.

The company's operating model includes a booked weeding service delivered by a local provider, who brings the machine to the field and supports its operation. Swappable batteries extend work beyond one charge, and a folding structure simplifies transport and storage between jobs. Remote monitoring and field-adjustable recognition software support the move between farms and crop conditions.

Events

  • 2023-01-30 - Funding - E-TERRY closes seven-figure seed round

    bm|t led the seed round, joined by FutureWork Verwaltungsgesellschaft, Dr. Thomas Gnefkow and Christoph Ratke. The company planned to expand its team, especially software development, and advance the robot first commercial use case. E-TERRY had built three robot generations and was developing an open platform for weeding and broader crop-care, sowing, harvesting and transport work.
