Odd.Bot

Corporate marketagricultureCurated record

Maverick is a fully autonomous mechanical in-row weeding robot that uses computer vision and AI to identify individual weeds at up to 2 per second per arm and physically remove them without herbicides, operating continuously day and night on high-density, high-value crops (onions, leeks, carrots, strawberries). The robot replaces both manual labour and chemical weeding. Odd.Bot also offers the AI vision + mechanical actuator module separately as 'Odd.Bot Weader' for integration onto standard farm tractors. TU Delft and Wageningen University have validated its performance.
