LaserWeeder: precision AI powered weed control in large-scale specialty crops
About us
Carbon Robotics builds the industry-leading AI-powered LaserWeeder G2™ which combines computer vision, AI deep learning technology, robotics, and lasers to identify crops versus weeds - and shoots the weeds with lasers. More than 100 of the world’s largest specialty crop growers have deployed LaserWeeders in North America, Europe, and Australia. LaserWeeders are designed at Carbon Robotics headquarters in Seattle, Washington and manufactured in our state of the art facility in Richland, Washington. Carbon Robotics has raised $157 million in capital since 2018 from investors that include BOND, NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm), Anthos Capital, Fuse Venture Capital, Ignition Partners, Revolution, Sozo Ventures, and Voyager Capital. What’s it like working at Carbon Robotics? We are a no-nonsense team of passionate people with a bias for action. We know that our ability to execute on our ideas is what sets us apart. We do what we say we are going to do, externally and internally. We trust our people to act independently and make practical, real-world decisions.

“We did experimentation in spinach and peas, and we have up to 30% yield increase where we use the LaserWeeder. Why? Because we did not have any herbicides that could potentially be damaging to the crop. ” ⁃ Thierry Besançon, Rutgers University Weed Science Specialist Check out the full video here: https://lnkd.in/gqzrhcfG

Regen hält niemanden auf, der es wirklich wissen will. Zwei Tage. Ein Acker beim Naturhof Heinrich Aue in der Region Hildesheim. Das Wetter hatte andere Pläne - die Landwirte nicht. Weil das zweite Feld durch den Regen nicht befahrbar war, haben wir alles auf eine Karte gesetzt: Zuckerrübe, live, im Bestand. Der LaserWeeder G2 hat gezeigt, was er kann. Was uns am meisten mitgenommen hat: die Gespräche danach. Offen, konkret, auf Augenhöhe. Danke an alle, die dabei waren. Besucher, Nordzucker AG, Bio Feigl, Presse, und unser Team vor Ort. Ihr habt diesen Feldtagen ihren Wert gegeben. - Rain doesn’t stop anyone who truly wants to know. Two days. One field at Naturhof Heinrich Aue in the Hildesheim region. The weather had other plans — the farmers didn’t. Because the second field was inaccessible due to the rain, we put everything on the line: sugar beets, live, in the field. The LaserWeeder G2 showed what it’s capable of. What stayed with us most were the relationships made and the open and practical conversations. Thanks to everyone who joined us: visitors, Nordzucker AG, Bio Feigl, press, and our team on site. You gave these field days their real value. #LaserWeeder #CarbonRobotics #Feldtage #Nordzucker #AgTech

"We're keeping herbicides out of the field, out of the food supply, out of your body, out of the farmer's body. The farmers are reporting, and university studies have proven 30% yield increases. So you get 30% more crops out of the same acreage." Paul Mikesell talked to Forbes about replacing chemicals with weed-killing lasers for healthier, more profitable farming.
