Join us on our mission to reshape urban landscapes for a greener, healthier future. Together, we’re cultivating tomorrow’s sustainable cities.

Problem ?!

Maintaining the health and safety of urban trees is no simple task. Effective tree care and risk management require time, expertise, and a deep understanding of tree biology. However, the shortage of skilled arborists and limited time to thoroughly inspect all urban trees make the job even more difficult. As a result, many trees go without the frequent, detailed inspections they need, increasing the risks posed by compromised health or potential hazards.

Solution

By leveraging LiDAR scanners and cameras, each tree can be precisely scanned in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner. Our AI system then analyzes the data, identifying which branches and tree structures need attention, and creates a digital work plan. Darbots' tree management software prioritizes high-risk trees for immediate maintenance by arborists, ensuring that actions are taken where they are needed most. This streamlined process is not only faster and safer than traditional methods but also more affordable, paving the way for greener, safer, and more sustainable cities.
