Laser Weeder for Farms

February 10, 2025

 

 

The Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder G2 is a product line designed to transform weed management in agriculture. The G2 series includes several models, each tailored to meet the specific needs of different farm sizes and crop types. By using lasers to target weeds, the device eliminates the need for harmful herbicides, preserving soil microbiology and promoting sustainable farming practices.

The LaserWeeder G2 features a modular design. The G2 200, for instance, is ideal for specialty vegetables and herbs, with a width of 6.6 feet and a weight of 4,250 lbs. It can cover between 0.4 to 0.7 acres per hour, making it perfect for smaller farms. For even larger farms, the G2 600 and G2 1200 models offer widths of 20 feet and 40 feet, respectively. These models can cover up to 3 acres per hour, significantly reducing the time and labor required for weed management. The G2 1800, with a width of 60 feet, is designed for organic corn and soybean farms, covering up to 10 acres per hour.

The LaserWeeder G2 utilizes advanced AI, computer vision, and robotics technology to detect and eliminate weeds with precision. The system relies on Nvidia graphics processing units to process millions of high-resolution images per hour, ensuring accurate weed detection. The Carbon AI deep-learning system, which has been trained on over 40 million plants from three continents, further enhances the device's accuracy. The 100% liquid cooling system ensures reliable performance, even in extreme weather conditions. Additionally, the LaserWeeder G2 can operate both day and night, providing flexibility for farmers with varying schedules.
