WeedSpider Robotic Weeding
The WeedSpider combines cutting-edge features into a single, unrivalled machine.
Its 3D weeding arm works with a proprietary imaging system to precisely identify and target weeds while distinguishing them from crops under any light conditions. A highly advanced AI learns to recognise new crops and weeds in just days, while bed-scanning technology ensures exact height adjustments and optimised blade depth across every row. Lightweight and fully electronic, the WeedSpider is easy to transport, economical to operate, and offers an extended window of use compared to conventional systems.
Exceptional Versatility
One modular system with multiple applications
Many different uses from one machine:
- Many different crops
- Variable rows per bed
- Custom blades fit for purpose
- Multiple weeding patterns to suit each application
- Quick to configure between fields
- Always learning and adapting
Unmatched Return on Investment
The WeedSpider delivers outstanding efficiency and value, giving growers a rapid return on investment while reducing reliance on manual labour.
-
Rapid ROI – many growers see payback in less than 9 months.
-
Labour savings – replace up to 90% of hand crews.
-
Simple operation – one person can run, move, and set up the WeedSpider.
-
Low tractor requirements – works with lightweight tractors from just 50HP, keeping purchase and running costs low.
-
Efficient performance – capable of up to 4 acres per hour.
-
Easy transportation – at just 2,000 lbs, it’s straightforward and affordable to move.
-
Extended weeding window – large crop clearance and the ability to enter fields soon after irrigation or rain mean more time on the ground.
Exceptional Weeding Performance
The WeedSpider is purpose-built to take on even the toughest weeds with precision and versatility. Every detail of its design is engineered to maximise kill rates while protecting valuable crops.
-
Precision blades – a free-spinning circular cutting system and custom weeding patterns target weeds right up close to crops.
-
3D weeding arms – deliver unique approaches and unmatched flexibility in the field.
-
Optimised depth control – cut depth adapts to different weed sizes and types for maximum effectiveness.
-
Bed scanning technology – hi-tech sensors map the bed shape and adjust blade depth in real time, without the need for wheels on the beds.
-
Advanced imaging – a proprietary vision system operates flawlessly in any lighting conditions, eliminating the need for curtains or artificial lights.
One Machine, Many Uses
The WeedSpider adapts to a wide range of crops and conditions, offering flexible weeding strategies to match every challenge. Its interchangeable systems make it easy to fine-tune performance for different stages of growth.
-
Multiple weeding patterns – including cross-over/figure eight, side cut, and alternating, each optimised for crop type, weed pressure, soil conditions, and planting configuration.
-
Quick-change blades – different cutter blades can be swapped in minutes to suit crop spacing and density.
-
High-density performance – effective in tightly planted crops, working both between and along rows in 8- and 10-line plantings.
-
Versatility with larger crops – now proven in tomatoes, artichokes, and other mature plants using specialised long sabre blades.
Operating Ease and Flexibility
The WeedSpider is designed for speed and simplicity, getting you from setup to full performance with minimal effort.
-
Fast start – begin weeding in under five minutes from the moment you arrive in the field.
-
Rapid configuration – switch between plantings in minutes; for example, moving from 3-line cauliflower to 6-line romaine takes just 10 minutes.
-
Easy operation – an intelligent setup algorithm and intuitive interface allow a single operator to optimise performance and run the robot from the tractor cab, with continuous feedback throughout the process.
-
Continuous monitoring – from within the tractor cab keep an eye on the performance of the machine with real time feedback cameras on the tablet.
Continuously Improving
This video is showing long blades driven by two synchronised arms to reach underneath larger crops, like artichokes, removing weeds from the entire plant bed.

WeedSpider FAQs
We currently sell the WeedSpider in the US and have started to also sell it in the UK. We are beginning to look into other countries. If you would like to contact us about entering a different country, please reach out to set up a call, so we can understand your needs, and discuss the options and potential of working together.
The price of a WeedSpider depends on the configuration that best suits your needs, the number of crop rows per bed, bed size, crop types, etc. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs so that we can prepare a specific quote for you.
After an initial call to understand your needs, we can either set up a demonstration on your ranch, or coordinate a visit to one of our very friendly customers to see their WeedSpider running.
Our initial WeedSpider was autonomous, but most growers in California preferred a tractor mounted version so we pivoted to that. We have more recently begun work on the Autonomous version again, which we hope to make available by 2027.
