Grant Description

Odd.bot is a technology start-up in the Netherlands creating the first 100% environmentally friendly, autonomous weed management robot in the world.

The solar powered Agri-Think Robot is able to recognise weeds in various growth stages and remove them mechanically between crops.

The cutting-edge AI computer vision and unique gripper technology developed by the team allow cost efficient operation with minimal impact to the environment as no pesticides are used.

By 2023 Odd.bot will have further increased the precision and capacity of the robot, performing removal at 1 mm accuracy while driving 360 m/h.

Farmers will have access to the Weeding-as-a-Service solution through strategic partners without need for capital investment.

Soil and water pollution caused by herbicides is avoided, e.g. 10Ha of land will avoid using 240 litres of herbicides yearly.

Operating autonomously, the solution is advantageous to both organic and conventional farmers, reducing the need for labour and chemicals.
