Dutch manufacturer of the Maverick mechanical weeding robot. Offices at Galileistraat 15, Rotterdam, and Farm of the Future, Lelystad. CoC 72959916. Dealers in the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland (odd.bot/dealers).
Odd.Bot raised €2 million in a pre-Series A growth round led by Iconic Ventures, with PolKa Capital Management, farmers, private investors and Horizon Flevoland.
Odd.Bot showed an updated Maverick weeding robot: GPS used as a headland/direction check (camera still drives the ridges), two digital geofences (field boundary plus an internal no-turn fence), and a renewed control app for geofencing and working-area parameters. Weader units under the machine are independent (own camera/control, 24 V) and planned as OEM/standalone sales to other manufacturers — exploratory talks only, nothing concrete. Machines already running across the Netherlands, Belgium and France; Weader offered as a standalone unit for third-party platforms.
ATH 2026: GPS headland check, dual geofences, updated app; Weader OEM talks exploratory. Machines in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France; Weader offered as a standalone unit.
GPS as headland/direction check (camera still drives ridges); two digital geofences (field boundary + no-turn fence); renewed control app for geofence and working-area parameters. Weader units independent (own camera/control, 24 V); planned OEM/standalone sales — exploratory talks only, nothing concrete.

Of AgroTechniek Holland 2026 (16–19 September, Biddinghuizen) described an updated Maverick: GPS used mainly as a check — whether the machine turned correctly on the headland and is driving in the right direction (the camera still recognises and drives the ridges). Users can set two separate geofences: the field boundary, plus a second fence for the area where the robot is not allowed to turn (to stop it turning mid-ridge when it no longer sees crop). The renewed control app configures geofencing and working-area parameters. Weader units under the machine operate independently (own camera and control software; 24 V) and Odd.Bot plans to sell the separate units to other manufacturers. Exploratory talks only, nothing concrete. Machines were already running in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France.
