This autonomous solar-powered robot rolls through fields of crops, inspecting every patch of growth on the ground. If it spots any weeds, it applies a targeted microdose of herbicides right where it’s needed.
The benefits are obvious – less “non-food” finding its way into our food supply, higher yield for farmers, and lower prices at the grocery store.
This is such a simple idea and a great application of technology. I love it.
