H2L Robotics BV is a Dutch robotics company founded in 2019 and based in the Netherlands. The company designs and builds autonomous machines for the agricultural sector - with a focus on virus detection and precision treatment in tulip and potato fields. Their machines are operating at scale across Dutch fields, with over 100 units running as of 2025.
H2L Robotics India was established in 2026 as its wholly owned subsidiary, dedicated to building the annotation infrastructure that powers these machines' vision systems.

Team
In June 2026, H2L Robotics India opened its doors at 91 Springboard, Vikhroli West and assembled its founding team. Within the month the team onboarded onto Label Studio, learned the SOPs, and completed its first full set of annotations on field imagery from the Netherlands — and raised its first invoice. A working annotation operation, live from month one.
H2L Robotics India Private Limited was incorporated in Mumbai in May 2026 — establishing the annotation arm of H2L Robotics on Indian soil and building the data infrastructure that powers the machines.
H2L Robotics began development of the POTECTOR300 — an autonomous robot for potato fields that uses RTK-GPS navigation and AI-powered cameras to detect virus-infected plants and diseases before they spread, protecting yield and reducing chemical use.
By 2025, over 100 SELECTOR machines were active across tulip fields in the Netherlands — a milestone in autonomous agricultural deployment at scale.
H2L Robotics received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, presented at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen, Germany — recognising the SELECTOR's industrial design and engineering excellence.
The SELECTOR225 was introduced as the wider-width variant of the SELECTOR family — a 225cm expanded bed machine built for larger tulip fields demanding greater coverage per pass, with the same autonomous RTK-GPS navigation and AI-powered virus detection as the SELECTOR180.
On February 10th, 2021, the SELECTOR180 — the world's first autonomous tulip selection robot — was officially introduced to Dutch tulip farmers, marking the start of autonomous virus detection at field scale.
In March and April 2020, H2L Robotics tested its prototype on different tulip fields across North Holland, gathering field data that informed the design and capabilities of the production SELECTOR machines.
H2L was founded by Marcel van Kervinck and Alexander van Veen on September 5th, 2019, with the objective to apply their extensive machine building experience for agriculture.
