Functionalities and technologies
- Functionality : Terra Robotics WEEDER CORE uses AI vision to detect weeds in real time, track and target them, and eliminate them with high-power diode lasers without mechanical soil disturbance. The system is modular, with 1-4 LaserBox units, adjustable working width from 55 cm to 2.25 m, and configuration around crop, bed, ridge and row layouts. Performance specs include up to 99% detection performance, up to 92% total weeding efficiency, 1-2 mm targeting accuracy, and minimum weed size of 10 mm × 10 mm.
- Embedded technologies : Sony CMOS cameras, NVIDIA Jetson AGX computer, GNSS with Galileo / GPS / GLONASS, AHRS accelerometer/gyroscope for roll-pitch-yaw sensing, High power Class 4 Diode lasers at 900–1100 nm, and Starlink / 4G LTE / Wi-Fi connectivity.
- Tools : Terra Robotics WEEDER CORE is itself a tractor-mounted weeding implement. It is compatible with standard tractors and autonomous robots through Category 2 or 3 three-point hitch and PTO generator or 48V power supply setup. Modular LaserBox units can be configured according to the crop and field width.
- Connections : Connectivity options include Starlink, 4G LTE, and Wi-Fi. GNSS is integrated through Galileo / GPS / GLONASS.
