Tensorfield was invited to participate and demo at the 2024 Agricultural Technology Field Day on Thursday, June 27, 2024. The event was organized by Steve Fennimore, Extension Vegetable Weed Control Specialist, UC Davis and Paramveer Singh, Agricultural Technology Area Advisor, Monterey County in cooperation with the USDA ARS, Salinas, CA. There were 12 companies represented, …
Our latest robot, Jetty, brings a remarkable improvement in spray precision over its predecessor V2, our pre-commercial engineering prototype. With Jetty, we completely redesigned the heated thermal jetting manifold, packing 232 nozzles into a continuous array to cover an 80-inch bed. This innovation effectively doubles our spray resolution, delivering 1/4 inch precision in spray targeting …

The Tensorfield team has spent the last two years testing and refining our precision thermal weeder, culminating in the design and build of our commercial alpha unit which will be launching soon, providing thermal weeding services for vegetable growers. The thermal jetting payload is centrally located within the footprint of 4 individually steered and driven …
Tensorfield won a Products That Count product award in the Sustainability category for 2023 with our Thermal Micro-Jetting (patent-pending) technology. As we are pre-launch at this stage, the award was surprising but gladly accepted! The Product Awards, presented by Products That Count in partnership with Mighty Capital and Capgemini, is the only awards show designed …

The Tensorfield team spent most of 2022 field testing the viability of thermal micro-jetting for weed control on test fields based in Salinas with the help of Dr Steve Fennimore and John Rachuy. Lethality testing was promising, with practically 100% lethality measured for weeds treated. The sprayers in the nozzle array shown below are spaced …
Tensorfield has commenced field testing of its V2 robotic chassis in the Salinas valley here in California. Tensorbot’s small footprint enables easy transport to the fields with just a midsize pickup truck and 12′ utility trailer. Integrated suspension units and a short wheelbase make easy work of entering customer fields, with ample ground clearance and …
For image collection on customer sites, and to provide initial weed treatment quotations, a lightweight remote-controlled rover was designed and built for easy two-person maneuverability (named Snappy, as it snaps photographs at a rate of 60-120 frames per second). For interested growers (specialty – 40/80 inch beds): please get in touch with us to arrange …
Our computer vision pipeline detects weeds within the seedline, even when weeds are a similar size or larger than the keeper crops. Our algorithm runs in real-time, allowing our thermal sprayers to accurately target the weeds for removal while leaving your crop stand unharmed.
Tensorfield has constructed a modular robotic platform for testing of our automated thermal weeding payload. High power requirements due to the heating of vegetable oil to weed-lethal temperatures had to be accommodated during the design phase. Full suspension and high ground clearance were key to being able to deal with the challenging terrain on our …
