CLAWS

What is it?

CLAWS by Earth Rover Ltd is a lightweight, autonomous field robot equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and concentrated light technology to perform scouting, weeding, and real-time data analysis in brassica and lettuce crops.

Weed control in brassica and lettuce crops is a delicate process. Manual weeding is slow and increasingly expensive due to labour shortages, while chemical herbicides can damage the crop, pollute the soil, and face strict environmental regulations. Standard mechanical weeders often lack the precision needed to work close to delicate plants without causing damage. CLAWS addresses these issues by offering an advanced, sustainable alternative. Equipped with state-of-the-art image processing, AI, and GNSS RTK satellite navigation, the robot identifies individual plants in space and time. It uses concentrated light to eradicate weeds with pinpoint precision, entirely eliminating the need for chemicals or disruptive tilling.

Why use it?

Deploying an autonomous, concentrated light weeding robot allows farmers to improve their efficiency and productivity while significantly reducing their environmental impact. By using 8 built-in cameras to collect real-time crop data, the robot sends critical information directly to the Farm Control System, empowering data-driven decision-making. The lightweight design prevents soil compaction, and because it is 100 percent battery and solar-powered, CLAWS can operate completely autonomously in different terrains and weather conditions, day and night. Ultimately, this precision technology helps growers improve their crop yield and save costs on labour and herbicides.
