Precise weed control for organic farmers

Sign up to participate for 2022 in-row weeding pilot

Weed control is a big obstacle for farmers to transition to organic agriculture 


There are 3 main problems: 
1.  Close to the vegetables it still has to be done manually
2. People working the land are in increasing short supply
3. Weeding is weather dependent and has to be planned carefully, but farmers have to commit to outside labor months in advance

All of this makes weeding expensive

How our robot improves weed control on your farm

Features 
Trabotyx provides single row autonomous weeding. Our wheelbase is modular to fit on any field and field lay-out. We use multiple weeding implements, so you can weed precisely next to the crop and in the near future between the crops.
One Robot will cover 1HA+ per day and automate the work of 4 people manually weeding

Why us

Trab is the Tunisian word for soil. Our motivation for this is simple; as we are talking to more farmers, we are learning more and more about the importance of soil. Good soil creates healthy food, is resistant to weather events and supports all life on earth.

We want to apply the progress in machine learning and robotics to the field of agriculture with 3 specific goals: 
  • improve the profitability of farmers, 
  • increase biodiversity
  • restore soil.

"Heeft mijn leven gered"

Zelfs het Polenmeldpunt is niet in staat geweest om mijn personeel het land uit te krijgen, corona wel. Trabotyx heeft mijn leven gered. Nu hoef ik Google Translate niet meer te gebruiken om Pools te spreken, maar kan ik Arabisch tegen Trabotyx spreken.

"Mijn nieuwe vrouw"

Mijn vrouw is gister met de noorderzon vertrokken op onze hybride John Deer die o.a. op biodiesel rijdt. Gelukkig heb ik nu weer een nieuwe maat, Trabotyx, die komt nu lekker tegen me aan geschurkt midden in de nacht, 

Boer Peert de Vries - Klein-limburg

"Ik blijf wieden"

Ik heb een overstap gemaakt van cabaret naar biologisch boeren, omdat er geen droog brood te verdienen was nu tijdens coronatijd. Gelukkig kwam ik Jan Harmen tegen en die raadde met Trabotyx aan. Hij heeft ook een cabaretfunctie en hij is grappiger dan ik. Wanneer corona over is, zet ik hem gewoon op het podium en ga ik zelf wel lekker onkruid wieden.

"Suicidale neigingen"

Moet zeggen dat ik in eerste instantie tevreden was, maar Trabotyx begint nu suicidiale neigingen te vertonen. Elke keer als ik met de omploeger over het veld heenga, gaat Trabotyx er voorliggen en krijst dan elektronisch "rijd over me heen". Ik weet niet wat er aan de hand is, maar ik hoop dat een firmwareupdate het probleem verhelpt.

FAQ & Contact 
  • Does it work for all open field vegetables?

    Ultimately yes, only we will start with the 5 most produced organic vegetables in the Netherlands; Onion, Red beet, Sugarbeet, Carrots and other cabbages.

  • What area around the plant does it actually weed?

    The robot focusses on the area from 5cm away from the crop to 1cm from the crop. Both in between and alongside the crops. Resulting in a decrease of manual labor with 75%.

  • Does it work at night?

    We are working on night vision, however our first robot will need to work during daylight
