Weeding robot Maverick

autonomous

Overview
The Maverick is an autonomous weeding robot by Odd.Bot designed for chemical-free, precision mechanical weed removal in commercial vegetable and root-crop production. It combines AI plant detection, 3D depth sensing and visual odometry to locate and remove weeds with millimetre accuracy while scaling to hectare-level operations.

Key features

• High-precision weeding: mechanical removal with up to 2 mm accuracy, suitable for narrow row spacing.
• High throughput: removes more than 240,000 weeds per hectare at field scale; instantaneous rate up to ~2 weeds/second.
• Fully autonomous operation: continuous day/night operation with interchangeable battery modules.
• Adjustable working width: 1.50–2.25 m to match different row spacings and crop layouts.
• Mobile monitoring: control and monitor operations from a mobile device.
• AI-driven detection: machine vision distinguishes crops from weeds for mechanical, chemical-free removal.

Suitable crops

• Carrots — on ridges (2x75 cm, 3x50 cm) and flat fields.
• Onions — ridges, flat fields and raised beds; effective at narrow row spacing.
• Parsnips — ridge cultivation; supports operations where manual labor is limited.
• Red beet — flat field with minimum ~25 cm row spacing.
• Chicory — ridge cultivation at various growth stages.

Weader Module (core unit)
