CLAWS

Equipped with state of the art image processing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and GNSS RTK satellite navigation, CLAWS is a lightweight, autonomous field robot able to perform a variety of tasks such as scouting, weeding and real-time data analysis in brassicas and lettuce crop.

Take control of the field with the smartest crop technology in the market

With 8 built-in cameras, CLAWS is able to identify individual plants in space and time, and collect real-time crop data, sending this information to its Farm Control System for farmer decision making. 

The lightweight concept, combined with being 100% battery and solar-powered, lets CLAWS operate completely autonomously in different terrains and weather conditions, day and night.

Benefits From Our Concentrated Light Technology 

CLAWS is an advanced, sustainable and effective weeding solution for farmers looking to improve their crop yield and save costs.

• Precision & Efficiency
  Targets individual weeds, delivering a concentrated pulse of energy that can quickly and accurately destroy the meristem of the weed without harming surrounding plants or soil.
• No GHG Emissions
  Running on battery and solar-power, CLAWS does not rely on diesel to function, allowing farmers to reach their net-zero goals.
• Preserves Soil Health
  Doesn’t disturb the soil (zero till), retaining moisture in the crucial root area of the crop and avoiding  the release of stored carbon into the atmosphere.
• No Root Damage
  Prevents damage to surface roots, resulting in less crop damage, compared to more aggressive, mechanical weeding solutions.

SCOUTING

Reinventing Intelligent Farming.

Innovation designed to assist farmers in maximising their crop yields and profitability. With its advanced image processing technology, CLAWS can acquire crop data by scanning the entire field, identifying and indexing each plant's location and size. By processing the data on the edge and transmitting key data through the network, it can build a digital replica of the farm in the Farm Control System with incredible speed and accuracy, enabling real-time decision making to optimise crop health and growth.

The crop insights provided by the CLAWS robot and the Farm Control System brings real-time, precision farming to the next level, ultimately leading to more sustainable, profitable, and productive farming practices.

WEED CONTROL

Precision, effectiveness, sustainability and profitability.

CLAWS is a game-changer for weed control. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, this cutting-edge agricultural robot can precisely target the meristem of even the smallest weeds with a short pulse of concentrated light, without harming the surrounding crop or soil.

The meristem detection technology is key to the success of CLAWS' weed control capabilities. This allows the robot to identify the growing point of the weed, which is the most sensitive area of the plant, and apply the precise amount of light needed to eliminate it. Through a simple stop-start operation, CLAWS can tackle the large variation in weed density seen across a typical field, whilst ensuring that only the right amount of energy is used across the field. No wasted energy dragging implements through the soil and no wasted energy from carrying excess capacity on-board.

This innovative approach to weed control is more cost effective than traditional weeding methods, reduces or eliminates the need for herbicides, even on herbicide resistant weeds, and minimises the impact on the environment and ecosystem.

FARM CONTROL AND INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Crop management at the palm of your hand.

The Farm Control and Intelligence System (FC&IS) provides farmers with a centralised platform to store, analyse and access the data collected by CLAWS. By using state-of-the-art deep-learning technologies, CLAWS is able to collect real-time and precise crop data, which is then seamlessly integrated.

This powerful tool enables farmers to quickly and easily control CLAWS, and review critical information about their crops, including detailed maps, crop health status, and growth rates. The system is designed to provide early and targeted recommendations. By leveraging this information, farmers can make informed decisions about their farming practices, reducing costs and increasing yields.

The data stored in the FC&IS can be accessed anytime, anywhere, using smartphones, tablets, or computers. The user-friendly interface provides a seamless experience, allowing farmers to easily navigate through the data and make informed decisions on the go.
