About Eleos
Eleos plans to design a fully autonomous, eco-friendly, and sustainable weeding technology for growers. Once built, the RoboWeeder is anticipated to be sold fully maintained and monitored remotely. The technology better reflects consumer demand for organic produce and uses cutting-edge technology in robotics and artificial intelligence. There are several patents pending surrounding this technology.
Once completed the RoboWeeder is expected to be a technology driven solution to a farm process that is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive and currently has no sustainable alternatives. It proposes to reduces labour and make herbicides obsolete. Unlike pulling or hoeing weeds, it is fully automated, and unlike herbicides, is sustainable and eco-friendly. The RoboWeeder is expected to save time, increase productivity, and is fully organic.
RoboWeeder is anticipated to be able to detect, identify, and then eliminate weeds that destroy growers' crops. It is anticipated that it will autonomously patrol crops searching for weeds, and then eliminate them with a high-precision directed microwave. The target goal will be to create a 10-acre "weed-free zone". It is proposed to be self-charging with an autonomous station and be able to operate day and night without supervision.
Eleos has an experienced multi-disciplinary, international and multi-cultural business and product development team. They account for decades of experience in machine learning/vision, automation, horticulture, data science, system engineering/robotics, and business development.
Pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange, trading in the shares of the Company will be halted pending review and approval of this transaction by the exchange.
