The Waterbug Aquatic Harvester, Watergator Aquatic Harvester, Watershark Aquatic Harvester,  Waterbeetle Aquatic Harvester and all products you see on our website are proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured by Applied Robotic Concepts LLC, based in Carver, Minnesota.
While the machines are available through various specialized distributors, every unit begins its life in our facility.

By integrating modern robotics and precision manufacturing, we ensure that the remote harvesting machines remain the most efficient remote-controlled harvester on the market.

​

When our founder faced an overgrown pond choked with algae and weeds, he searched for an economic and effective solution — but none existed. So he built one.

 “Cleaner water, happier moments.”

What started as a personal need has grown into a proven technology trusted by homeowners, contractors, and municipalities worldwide.​​

 

Today, our machines combine eco‑friendly design, intuitive controls, and reliable performance to make water management simple, sustainable, and enjoyable.

 

​Every product we offer is designed, manufactured, and supported by our team in Minnesota, USA.
