AI Precision Weed Control
LaserWeeder™ utilizes computer vision and AI deep learning models to identify weeds and crops in real time and kill the weeds with high-powered lasers. Laser weeding reduces farming costs, increases crop yield, and improves soil health. No hand labor, chemical herbicides, or mechanical soil disruption.

Benefits for farmers
increaseD crop yield and quality
Lasers leave the soil microbiology undisturbed, unlike tillage. The lack of herbicides and soil disruption paves the way for a regenerative approach, which leads to healthy crops and higher yields.
Overall cost reduction
Automated robots enable farmers to reduce the highly variable cost of manual labor as well as reduce the use of crop inputs such as herbicides and fertilizers. Labor is often farmers’ biggest cost and crop inputs account for 28.2% of their total expenses. Reducing costs in both these areas is a huge benefit.
regenerative farming practices
Traditional chemicals used by farmers, such as herbicides, deteriorate soil health and are tied to health problems in humans and other mammals. A laser-powered, autonomous weed management solution reduces or eliminates farmers’ need for herbicides.
economical path to organic farming
One of the largest obstacles to organic farming is cost-effective weed control. A solution to weed management that doesn’t require herbicides or an increase in manual labor provides farmers with a more realistic path to classifying their crops as organic.
Gallery of laserweeded crops
Carbon Robotics™ LaserWeeders™ kill weeds among specialty row crops such as broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, chard, cilantro, kale, lettuce, onions, spinach, tomatoes, and more! If we can see it, we can shoot it. Weeds can’t compete with crops when LaserWeeders are in your fields.
Laserweeding is effective in high-density crops like chard.
Baby spinach plants no longer need to compete with pigweed.
The moment the laser strikes. Even a tiny weed hiding in this chard is destroyed with pinpoint accuracy.
Comparison: laserweeded onions (left) vs unweeded onions (right).
After laserweeding earlier in the growth cycle, this onion crop is flourishing.
The laser obliterates a small weed next to an onion.
Accuracy is important when a weed is close to a romaine plant.
Healthy lettuce and a laser targeted Shepherd’s purse.
Lettuce will continue growing and the Shepherd’s purse is done.
A row of healthy cilantro towers over dead weeds.
The laser killed this pigweed so carrots can prosper.
