Myers, CEO of Owyhee Produce, is an early adopter of a Seattle robotics companyâs âautonomous weeder,â a self-driving, diesel-powered robot about as big as a medium-sized tractor that zaps weeds with powerful laser beams.
Carbon Robotics introduced the latest iteration of the technology in April.
âThe idea of weeding robots to me, when I first heard of it, was like science fiction. I mean, it just seemed so far-fetched,â Myers said.
Other farmers described the robots as âextremely futuristicâ and âlike âStar Wars.ââ
