Fonctionnalités et technologies
- Fonctionnalité principale : CLAWS uses RTK-enabled autonomous navigation and AI-powered cameras to identify individual weeds among crops. It delivers a precise pulse of concentrated light to the weed’s growing point, eliminating it without herbicides, crop damage or soil disturbance. The robot also collects real-time data on plant location, crop health, size and growth, which is processed through the FIELD platform to support crop monitoring and data-driven farm management.
- Logiciel : GNSS RTK GPS Navigation; Camera vision system for obstacle detection, crop monitoring and weed detection; Light weeder modules (AI-powered weeding units)
- Connectivité : RTK Base station (provided) and mobile data network
- Outils compatibles : N/A
Plan de développement
- Prochaine phase de développement : Additional AI models for different crop varieties. Increased speed and performance. BroadCLAWS version for broad acre crop systems.
