# Orbiba Robotics

> Orbiba Robotics (Orbiba Robotics Teknoloji A.Ş.) is a Turkish agricultural-robotics
> company making autonomous, modular field robots accessible to small and mid-sized
> family farms. Member of CERN Venture Connect and NVIDIA Inception; World FIRA Top 12
> finalist in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Agriculture and family farms remain Orbiba's primary market. The company is also
evaluating an adjacent Urban and Peri-Urban application context for selected managed
outdoor sites. This builds on the agriculture-first technology core and does not change
the company mission.

## Products

- Ecominos: autonomous modular field robot for row-planted vegetables. Swappable
  modules cover mechanical weeding, precision hoeing, carrying and transport, seeding
  support, targeted application and field scouting. Robot platforms start from €18,000.
- Product ecosystem: platform modules, field sensors, farmer applications (robot
  management, field insights, operational planning, decision support, reporting),
  AI models and an integration API.

## Urban and peri-urban applications

- Proposed contexts: managed green spaces, low-speed site logistics, urban and
  peri-urban food systems, campuses and managed facilities.
- Technical basis: an agriculture-developed compact electric chassis, modular interface
  and outdoor autonomy for movement, maintenance and sensing tasks.
- Every adjacent use requires a site-specific assessment, defined operating boundaries
  and supervision. The website does not claim completed urban deployments, customer
  outcomes or proven performance in urban environments.

## Traction

- First commercial sale completed in Şanlıurfa; first municipal agricultural sale in 2025.
- 44 pre-orders across Türkiye, Europe and the USA; 12 pre-sales;
  1 Robot-as-a-Service agreement.
- Beta Robot Farmer Program: a limited group of farms deploying Ecominos with
  preferential conditions.

## Key facts

- Founded 2022; R&D base in Istanbul and European headquarters at Norrsken House
  in Barcelona, Spain.
- Deep-tech validation: admitted to CERN Venture Connect and applying CERN-licensed
  Structured Laser Beam (SLB) technology to agriculture.
- Founder: İlker Bektaş.
- Awards & recognition: World FIRA Top 12 (2023-2025), EIC Accelerator Seal of
  Excellence, UN FAO AgriInno Excellence Award, EIT Food Tech Pioneer 2025.
- Supported by TÜBİTAK, KOSGEB and YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark.
