Robot uses lasers to make chemical-free farming a reality

Imagine a future where farming is not only more efficient but also cleaner and greener. 

That's exactly what Carbon Robotics is promising with its latest innovation, the LaserWeeder G2. This game-changing technology figures to revolutionize weed control by ditching chemicals altogether. 

It's a solution that's both good for the planet and great for farmers looking to reduce their environmental footprint.

The LaserWeeder G2 builds on the success of its predecessors to bring submillimeter weed control to a wider range of farms, crops and soil types. By harnessing the power of lasers, artificial intelligence and advanced robotics, the G2 offers an alternative to traditional herbicides and labor-intensive manual weeding. It is equipped with powerful 240-watt lasers that can destroy weeds with pinpoint accuracy. The G2 also features high-resolution cameras and enhanced optics for precise weed identification, utilizing Carbon AI that processes over 40 million labeled plants for accurate detection. Additionally, it includes target and predict cameras for weed identification.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

The G2 operates effectively day or night, thanks to its LED lighting system, and its modular design supports widths from 6.6 to 60 feet, making it adaptable to various farm sizes and needs. Underneath its sleek exterior, the LaserWeeder G2 boasts a GPS/LTE antenna for precise positioning, a chiller system for temperature control, self-contained weeding modules, satellite internet connectivity for real-time updates and an electrical cabinet that houses advanced processing units.

AI IS BEING USED TO RUN THE WORLD'S FIRST INDOOR VERTICAL BERRY FARM

The LaserWeeder G2 doesn't just remove weeds; it obliterates them. Using optimal thermal energy, the laser explodes cell walls at the meristem, effectively killing the weed from the inside out. This method is not only effective but also prevents regrowth. The company claims an impressive 80% reduction in yearly weed control costs and a 99% kill rate on all types of weeds. Moreover, the LaserWeeder G2 offers models tailored for over 100 specialty crops.

The LaserWeeder G2 is versatile, capable of working with a wide range of crops, including leafy greens, onions, carrots and brassicas. This adaptability makes it a valuable asset for farmers who cultivate diverse crops.

Farmers are already seeing the benefits of laser weeding technology. Tanimura & Antle, a leading fresh produce company, has integrated the LaserWeeder into their operations. Scott Rossi, VP of northern farming operations, praises the technology for its efficiency and contribution to sustainable farming practices.

While the LaserWeeder G2 is a powerful tool, it's important to note that it's classified as a class 4 laser product. Users must exercise caution to avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation.
