Self-driving farmbot kills 100,000 weeds/hour by laser: no herbicide!
The Carbon Robotics self-driving farm bot kills weeds with lasers: 8 150-watt lasers, to be precise. That’s pretty cool, but much cooler is that no toxic herbicides are required.
That’s safer for the farmer, better for the soil, and produces better crops.
In this episode of TechFirst, we check out the robot, talk to the CEO of Carbon Robotics Paul Mikesell, and see the results on the fields.
