See moreAt a sugar beet farm in Idaho, USA, a prototype carbon-free weeding robot has been tested by the startup Aigen in its first field trial. Aiming to reduce agriculture's environmental impact, the robot, equipped with a solar panel, autonomously navigates crop rows, identifies weeds with AI, and removes them with mechanical arms. The development process includes data collection through various sensors and generating reports for effective land maintenance. Their challenge to make agriculture more efficient and less reliant on chemicals, leading to reduced soil degradation and healthier produce for consumers sounds exciting. (Jan 2022)
