Earth Rover CLAWS Autonomous Robot Demonstration Event
Earth Rover Demonstration Event
Wednesday 23 July 2025 11.00 - 14.00
CLAWS™ (Concentrated Light Autonomous Weeding and Scouting) can identify individual plants in space and time, and collect real-time crop data, sending this information to its Farm Control System for grower decision making. Equipped with light weeders, this cutting-edge robot can also precisely target the meristem of even the smallest weeds with a short pulse of concentrated light, without harming the surrounding crop or soil, avoiding soil compaction and substantially adding to the weed control options for growers, minimising reliance on herbicides.
Further Information
Through the assistance of the Tree Production Innovation Funding this robot has been trained to identify and work on seedbeds of five different tree species. Currently undergoing extensive trialling on the production beds at J&A Growers this is an opportunity to see the robot first hand providing weed control in a commercial tree production environment. The event will consist of two presentations and a demonstration of the robot at the nursery; a sandwich lunch will also be provided to delegates.
