Cyclair is an Agritech startup based in Pressac, France, developing an autonomous mechanical weeding ecosystem for large-scale agriculture. Founded by experts from agriculture, engineering, and drone sectors, Cyclair's solution uses AI-driven rovers to completely destroy weeds between and within crop rows, protecting soils and saving time for farmers. Their technology includes 3D vision systems, adaptive navigation AI, redundant safety systems, precision tools, and electric or thermal motorization for autonomy. The company aims to reduce chemical input volumes significantly while maintaining or improving crop yields, supporting the agro-ecological transition. Cyclair has raised €2.1M to develop its autonomous weeding rover, with commercial availability planned for 2024. The company operates test plots near its headquarters to facilitate continuous experimentation and is supported by government and EU funding programs.
