Weed eliminating AI machine.

An Agtech startup helping farmers.

​

And yes,

Laser weed removal will launch thousands of:

“Back in my day… ” stories about how older generations used to work the ground with their hands, pulling up weeds until they couldn’t feel their fingers.

- And sure, Grandpa, that’s great, but we’ll take the lasers.

​

Agtech startup Carbon Robotics launches LaserWeeder.

A high-tech farming machinery.

​
​

​

What Does It Do?

​

​

A weed-obliteration machine:

(it giggles whenever I write weed obliteration)

Uses proprietary AI and computer vision technology for precision.

​
​

• There are 30 industrial lasers, tracking cameras, and a deep-learning model on board.

​
​

• It can kill ~200k weeds per hour.

​
​

• Weeding by thermal energy means no damage to plants or disturbance of soil.

​

For scale, the LaserWeeder is ~3 Shaquille O’Neals wide, ~2 Danny DeVito's long, and ~7 bowling pins tall.

(Special thanks to the hustle for this measurements)

​
​Good luck finding a cooler yardwork hack

​

​

You know how much they had done upon unveiling their product to market:

Eliminate 500m+ weeds across 40 different crops.

Why farmers are on board:

• Herbicide-resistant weeds have distressed farmers for decades.

​
​

• LaserWeeder takes care of farmers both in the long run as well as helping farms when there is labour shortage.

​
​

• And also, it also drives chemical-free, no-till farming, which leads to higher yields of healthier, more organic crops.

​
​

What’s next?

​

Carbon will scale its machines as it looks to grow across the US and Canada.

As it does so, it will prepare for expanding it in Europe.

​
​

A question: will it work in India?
