SMART TECHNOLOGY

Artificial intelligence, 3D image recognition, robotics, state-of-the-art technology and software combined with a high-precision laser for dividing delicate plants - that is RoBo®Cut. The long-cherished dream of fully automated in vitro plant production has become reality.

The manufacturing in vitro plant production has high personnel costs and a latent risk of contamination.

For the first time and unique in the world, Friederike and Stephan von Rundstedt, together with their team of experienced plant specialists and software experts, have succeeded in achieving the seemingly impossible: one hundred percent automation of the complete in vitro production process. Cup opening, removal and plant cutting, and placing the cut plantlets on fresh medium - without a single manual operation.

Solving sterility issues once and for all. Not to mention the exorbitant costs for manual labor and and hard-to-control peaks in production. All this of course on site and at a low cost.

RoBo®Cut: The Revolution in Plant Production

RoBo®Cut combines Artificial Intelligence, 3D image recognition, robotics, and state-of-the-art laser technology to precisely cut delicate plants. What was once a dream is now a reality: fully automated in vitro plant production.

Traditional in vitro plant production involves high labor costs and constant contamination risks. However, Friederike and Stephan von Rundstedt, together with an expert team, have achieved the impossible: The complete automation of the entire process – from cup opening to plant cutting and placement onto fresh medium, all without manual intervention.

Issues of sterility and high labor costs are now a thing of the past. RoBo®Cut offers a cost-effective, locally deployable solution that effortlessly handles production bottlenecks.

CLEAN, STERILE

With RoBo®Cut, You Achieve Better Plants!

Our AI makes the difference: While human errors in propagation are inevitable, our Artificial Intelligence makes decisions based on thousands of perfect cuts that were previously trained by experienced specialists.

Unlike the stressful, manual cutting with a scalpel, the fast, touchless laser cut results in fewer cell injuries and prevents infections. RoBo®Cut reliably identifies the optimal cutting lines of each plant – at any time of day.

The result? Stress-free plants with higher propagation rates and shorter growth cycles. This saves resources, protects the environment, and saves you money. In short: Better plants through smarter propagation.

RoBo®Tec: Human Expertise Transformed into Artificial Intelligence

Behind the groundbreaking technology of RoBo®Tec is the decades of experience of the family-owned company Bock Bio Science. For nearly 100 years, plants have been our passion – from breeding and in vitro propagation to horticultural production. Our success is based on hard work, innovative thinking, and a deep connection with the plant world.

Bock stands for innovation. Over 10 years ago, the idea for RoBo®Cut emerged in one of the most renowned tissue culture labs. What sounds like an ambitious vision is the result of real plant specialists who understand that every plant is unique. While automation is usually designed to repeat identical processes, RoBo®Cut brings the necessary flexibility and precision, thanks to our special plant intelligence. This intelligence, deeply rooted in our plant knowledge, we have successfully translated into software code – and that is our strength at RoBo®Tec.

Controlled Bioregenerative Systems for the Future of Space Agriculture

Modern agriculture is a central driver of innovations, especially in the context of sustainable space research. To ensure the supply of food and oxygen for long-term missions, bioregenerative life support systems, robotics, and automation play a crucial role.

Revolutionary technologies such as in vitro plant propagation and somatic embryogenesis are fundamentally changing the landscape of space agriculture. These advanced lab-based methods enable autonomous plant production on a large scale and ensure disease-free propagation with high rates. Astronauts can rely on a constant supply of healthy, nutritious food throughout their entire mission.
