AI comes to the farm: New technology tackles acres of weeds quickly by using robotics and lasers

Posted in business, food, robotics/AI, sustainability

Weeds are one of the most “tedious, time-consuming and challenging” elements of farming, Carbon Robotics told Fox Business via email.

The LaserWeeder can eliminate over 200,000 weeds per hour and offer up to 80% cost savings in weed control.

Carbon Robotics CEO and founder Paul Mikesell “knows farmers and has a lot of friends who are farmers,” he said.
