Orbiba builds OrbBite, a small modular electric field robot for chemical-free precision weeding on organic farms. The robot navigates autonomously using RTK-GPS for centimeter-level positioning, LiDAR, stereo cameras, multispectral and thermal imaging, and sensor fusion, and applies AI-driven plant/weed recognition. It is the first agritech startup accepted to CERN Venture Connect, integrating CERN's Structured Laser Beam (SLB) technology for weed detection and non-chemical removal.
