Performance & Economic Impact

• Estimated ROI :

  Based on last year, we saw that we were able to reduce the demand for manual labour by 70%. In this way, we achieve an ROI of between 2 and 4 years for current growers, depending on how much and how long they deploy the robot. We state that one robot can replace the work of 10 people in 24 hours.

Functionalities and technologies

• Core Functionality : The robot can operate for 24 hours on three batteries of approximately 20 kg, each, which keeps it lightweight. The 2025 robot achieved 80% weed removal and was successful on weeds up to 7 cm in size. The robot is specifically designed for in-row weeding and, with 2 mm precision, is particularly suitable for high-density crops. Weeding weeds up to 7 cm.
• Software : Vision systeem, AI for crop and weed detection
• Connectivity : The robot operates using its own vision and follows the crop rather than GPS, which makes it very easy to set up in the field. However, an internet connection is required to operate the robot.
• Compatible Tools :

Development Roadmap

• Next phase : The next improvement we aim to achieve is increasing weed removal accuracy and speed while expanding the robot’s capabilities to handle a wider range of crops and weed sizes with even less need for human intervention
