Seattle-based Carbon Robotics has deployed over 150 LaserWeeder machines across 14 countries, using AI-powered lasers to eliminate weeds without chemicals.
The company's G2 system combines 24 NVIDIA GPUs with 30 industrial CO2 lasers to identify and destroy 10,000 weeds per minute with sub-millimeter precision.
Founded in 2018 after a farmer cited weed control as agriculture's biggest challenge, Carbon Robotics claims the $1 million machines reduce weeding costs by 80% with a 2-3 year payback period.
The technology addresses growing herbicide resistance and labor shortages, with machines operating autonomously around the clock.
To date, the fleet has eliminated over 30 billion weeds across 250,000 acres, representing a shift toward precision agriculture solutions.
