A NEW weeding robot that uniquely uses lasers to exterminate the enemy , has been released by Carbon Robotics in the US. The Seattle-based company has released its third generation Autonomous Weeder and this one uses a combination of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and laser technology, to safely and effectively allow it to drive through crop fields to identify, target and eliminate weeds. However, if you are on the market for one of these robots, you will have to wait until 2022 as all the 2021 models have already sold out. New models for the 2022 growing season are available for pre-order. Unlike other weeding technologies, the robots utilise high-power lasers to eradicate weeds through thermal energy, without disturbing the soil. Also, farmers who use these automated robots have the ability to reduce their herbicide use, reduce labour and costs while at the same time improving crop yields.
