Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder
An agricultural machine that identifies weeds through image recognition and eliminates them with lasers without spraying herbicide on the crop.
About
Cameras film the soil as the LaserWeeder moves across the field. Models distinguish crops from weeds and aim a laser at the growth point of the weed. Independent field research shows that laser weeding can significantly reduce weeds, although results and capacity vary by crop and conditions.
AI factor
The farmer decides where and when to work. Image recognition classifies plants at high speed and controls the lasers; people check settings, safety, and the agronomic result.
