Featuring four legs, it was equipped with a single Human range photoreceptor, capable of also seeing in micro-scale, and a pair of auditory receptors, one of which was Human range, the other high-frequency, and a simple personality matrix. The TS-Arach was armed with a small blaster, as well as pesticide dispensers. It was capable of functioning in virtually any environment.

The TS-Arach was designed to eradicate common pests that threatened crops.

Once a harmful creature was discovered, the TS-Arach dealt with the intrusion using its blaster and pesticide dispensers. If the creature was deemed harmless, its presence was logged and reported to the farmer.
