PickerBot - Chemical Free Pest Control & Garden Care
Garden Care Robot
Kitchen gardens are essential micro-ecosystems, but they are threatened by invasive species, climate change, and pesticides. PickerBot is an autonomous garden robot that provides early, non-toxic pest intervention. It operates continuously to collect slugs, detect pest activity, and deter larger animals, promoting preventive care over reactive chemical treatments. This helps gardeners cultivate resilient gardens and healthier crops.
The kitchen garden is increasingly recognized as a micro-solution to food insecurity. This autonomous garden robot enables early, on-pest intervention. Operating day and night on garden paths, it selectively collects slugs and detects emerging threats, supporting the cultivation of more resilient gardens and healthier ecosystems.
