Performance & Impact Économique

• ROI estimé :

  ROI is typically achieved within a few growing seasons, driven by strong reductions in labour and chemical inputs, and long-term lower total cost of ownership due to the robot’s modular and upgradeable design.

• Économies de produits phytosanitaires :

  Fully chemical-free weeding

  
  
• Amélioration du rendement :

  Effects on crop productivity or yield
  - Improved crop health through precise, plant-level weed removal
  - Minimal soil disturbance due to the robot’s relatively low weight and precise, non-invasive laser weeding approach
  - Preservation of soil structure and biodiversity compared to traditional mechanical weeding methods
  - Residue-free process, supporting regenerative farming practices
  - Potential for higher yields due to reduced crop competition and healthier growing conditions

  
  Overall, Robot One enables more consistent, precise, and sustainable crop management, which positively impacts both productivity and long-term farm profitability.
  

Caractéristiques techniques

Fonctionnalités et technologies

• Fonctionnalité principale : Robot One identifies weeds between crops and eliminates them individually using laser technology, enabling precise, chemical-free weed control directly in the field. This reduces the need for manual labour and replaces traditional spraying. It operates autonomously in crop rows using cameras and AI-based plant recognition, adapts to different field layouts through adjustable configurations, and is built as a modular system that can be upgraded over time. Robot One runs on electric power supported by solar panels and an optional range extender for extended working hours.
• Logiciel : - GPS (RTK) for precise navigation in the field - Stereo camera vision system for plant detection - AI-based plant recognition models (crop vs weed) - High-power CO₂ laser modules for weed removal - Onboard computing (NVIDIA GPU) for real-time image processing - Wheel sensors and calibration systems for accurate positioning - 4G / WiFi connectivity for data transfer and remote support
• Connectivité : Data connectivity: uses onboard connectivity (WiFi / 4G) for data transfer, updates, and remote support. - No dedicated base station required for operation. - GPS: integrated onboard with RTK capability, can be linked to farm systems for field mapping, task planning, and data exchange.
• Outils compatibles : Robot One is specifically designed for precision weeding and is not intended for tillage or seeding applications.

Plan de développement

• Prochaine phase de développement : The next development phase of Robot One focuses on integrating diode laser technology to increase field capacity and treatment speed. Compared to the current CO2 laser system, diode lasers offer a longer lifetime, a much smaller form factor and better scalability within the robot’s modular design. This enables Robot One to target and treat more weeds at higher driving speeds, while reducing system complexity and maintenance needs.
