Autonomous LaserWeeder Demo Unit
*Field Demos Only - Not For Commercial Sale*
Carbon Robotics™ launched its Autonomous LaserWeeder™ in 2021 to provide farmers with an efficient and cost effective weed management solution. Leveraging deep-learning-based computer vision, the Autonomous LaserWeeder identifies, targets and eliminates weeds while driving autonomously over crop rows. Since its founding in 2018, Carbon Robotics has worked closely with farmers to develop this precision laserweeding technology, which supports sustainable and reliable weed elimination for both conventional and organic farmers.
Carbon Robotics’ Autonomous LaserWeeders now serve as demo units, allowing specialty crop growers to see laserweeding’s proven efficiency, precision, and benefits when adopted. For those interested in purchasing a laserweeding robot, take a look at the LaserWeeder, Carbon Robotics’ new commercially available unit, which has 3X the number of lasers for increased weeding capacity and integrates effortlessly into existing farming infrastructure.

Fully Autonomous
The Carbon Robotics Autonomous LaserWeeder™ runs day and night, using its GPS and computer vision guidance system to stay within the bounds of your field, navigate furrows, and automatically turn around for the next row.
AI-Powered
High-resolution cameras scan your field, crops, and weeds in real time. A rugged, onboard supercomputer uses machine learning to identify invasive weeds among your valuable crops — in milliseconds — all while rolling.
effective & Sustainable
High-powered lasers target thermal energy at each weed’s meristem. The Autonomous LaserWeeder™ can kill over 100,000 weeds/hour using eight simultaneously operating laser modules that deliver quick zaps on emerging weeds.
