Weeding robot BIGRO

autonomous

Sports grounds such as soccer fields or golf courses, and also parks and gardens should be kept free of weeds for performance and optical impression in an environmentally friendly way. Herbicide-free weed removal is cost-effective, ecological and complies with upcoming regulations. Furthermore, autonomous robotic weeding reduces the human effort and labour cost for lawn maintenance. Bigro removes weeds mechanically, controlled by artificial intelligence, with the aim of creating a natural and chemical-free lawn on which people can safely practise sport and exercise in a healthy environment. HOW IT WORKS Bigro navigates autonomously within the specified area. It is guided by satellite navigation with centimeter accuracy. An integrated object recognition system analyses images from the ground-facing camera. If weeds are detected, a mechanical trimmer lowers during driving and mechanically removes a weed. The weeds are cut off above the ground, stopping the photosynthesis that nourishes the weed. After a few such operations, the root does not sprout again and rots in the soil. Regular operation removes weeds as soon as they appear, before they spread.
