## The Robotics Operator.

Dr.-Ing. Alireza Ahmadi is the Founder and CEO of DynamoBot GmbH (Dynamic Mobile Robotics) — active in the agricultural robotics and AI branch — with over 15 years of experience across robotics R&D, embedded systems and precision agriculture.

He holds a B.Sc. in Electronics & Embedded Circuits Engineering from Tabriz Technical College (2013), an M.Sc. in Geodetic Engineering & Mobile Sensing from the IPB, University of Bonn (2019), and a Ph.D. from the Agricultural Robotics & Engineering Institute at the University of Bonn (2025), where he developed BonnBot-I — the precise weed management platform that became the technological foundation of DynamoBot.

His work has been recognized internationally — including the IROS 2022 Best Paper Award on Agri-Robotics (sponsored by YANMAR, Kyoto), the Transfer Prize 2025 from Uni-Bonn, the Bayer Golden Ticket II for crop science startups, a Silver Medal at WorldSkills 2013 in Leipzig, and multiple podium finishes at RoboCup. He also serves as a reviewer for IEEE RA-L, JFR, ICRA, IROS, and Computers & Electronics in Agriculture (Elsevier).
