The Weed Whacker from Odd.Bot can be utilized via its Robot-as-a-Service offering and can be hired to clean any field of 10+ hectare. The intelligent robot -or robots- can detect both the weeds and crops already in an early stage and autonomously remove the weeds mechanically, specifically in the crop rows and in between the crops. Its biggest differentiators: sustainability: an alternative for (potential) harmful chemicals versatility: the spacing between the crops may vary resilience: it is highly adaptive and lightweight, which reduces soil compaction

Indoor Robotics Ltd, founded in 2018 and based in Ramat Gan, Israel, specializes in the design and development of Tando, an AI-powered patrol drone tailored for indoor security and inspection purposes. The company leverages artificial intelligence to create an autonomous indoor intelligence platform that enhances decision-making and reduces errors. Tando is capable of conducting security patrols, inspecting facilities, and identifying irregularities such as leaks and fire hazards. Additionally, the drone learns its environment and adapts its responses to various detected anomalies, thus improving area coverage and response times for users.
