Tertill is a waterproof robot that was created by Joe Jones. It was designed to remove weeds from the garden and works thanks to the energy of the sun's rays. Thus, all gardening enthusiasts will enjoy gardens and flower gardens without having to worry about the frustration and monotony of weeding. On the other hand, supporters of organic products will also be satisfied because Tertill works without pesticides.
Once set in the garden, Tertill moves, prevents weeds from growing there. It is equipped with several sensors that allow it to search for and eliminate weeds, and to patrol the garden, while avoiding obstacles (plants, shrubs ...).
A relatively simple mechanism allows it to distinguish weeds from other plants in the vegetable garden (the latter must be higher than the weeds); Thus, if a sensor detects a sufficiently low plant, Tertill will cut it.
Since Tertill's operation is based on the height of the plants, it is advisable to place metal hoops around the garden's young shoots (Tertill identifies them as obstacles and avoids them).
The Tertill robot works thanks to the energy of the solar rays. It is equipped with panels that capture and transform light into energy, even when the sky is cloudy; Thereafter, the energy is stored in its internal battery.
During periods of high heat, Tertill increases its pace of operation; When there are clouds, it slows down and uses energy intelligently. Plants also follow the same rhythm: they grow rapidly when the sun shines and slowly when the weather is dull.
In addition, Tertill is a waterproof robot so it is not afraid of wind or rain. It should also be noted that it can be recharged by USB.
Tertill has proven to be an excellent alternative to pesticides. It is available in pre-order starting at $ 249 on Kickstarter, where there are still a few days to participate in the campaign, which has already largely achieved its goal.
