Selected milestone2011–2014
Company roots and incorporation timeline differ by page
Official pages describe an October 2011 foundation and a 2014 founding respectively, so both dates remain visible pending a clearer primary timeline.

01 / Overview
Read the company as a system.
Ecorobotix's public timeline contains two foundation markers: its United States company page labels October 2011 as the foundation, while its detailed origins page says the company was founded in 2014. The profile retains that unresolved 2011–2014 range instead of silently selecting one date.
ARA grew from earlier autonomous prototypes but is a tractor-pulled precision sprayer. Its cameras, software, positioning, carrier tractor, liquid system, approved crop algorithm, operator setup, and regional label requirements form one operational system; the product should not be described as a self-propelled robot.
02 / Brands
The identities users meet in the market.
Brand records sit between the parent company and individual product series. They preserve ownership context while allowing regional portfolios to be documented separately.

Selected milestone2016–2020
Autonomous prototypes shape the vision stack
The origins history traces development through D-ARM and AVO, then records a move away from autonomous-machine constraints toward a pulled application system.
Selected milestone2021
ARA launches as a pulled field sprayer
Ecorobotix identifies 2021 as the launch of ARA, combining plant detection with selective liquid application on a tractor-pulled frame.
