Carbon Robotics is bringing two new products to farmers.
Available now is the LaserWeeder G2, the second generation of the company’s initial LaserWeeder.
The first-generation product only came in a 20-foot configuration.
The G2 is available in sizes ranging from six to 40 feet wide. It’s also about 30 percent lighter and can work about 40 percent faster than its predecessor.
The LaserWeeder uses AI and lasers to identify, target, and zap weeds every 50 milliseconds.
The other product in development from Carbon Robotics is Carbon ATK.
It’s an autonomous tractor kit for existing tractors.
“We have some electronic (printed circuit boards) that plug into parts of the tractor control system then allow us to take it over and allow the tractor to perform the proper operations,” said Paul Mikesell, founder and CEO of Carbon Robotics.
