Computer vision & AI
Intelligent weed recognition:
The LaserWeeder uses advanced computer vision technology and AI deep learning models to identify weeds and crops in real time. Using 100+ crop AI deep learning models, the system labels every plant in the field, enabling it to distinguish between crops and weeds. This allows the device to accurately determine where and how long to shoot at a weed.
Predictive cameras:
At the front of the machine are 12 prediction cameras specifically designed to detect and locate weeds. These cameras work together with AI models to quickly and accurately determine where the weeds are and apply the right strategy for removal.
High resolution cameras
42 High resolution cameras
The LaserWeeder is equipped with 42 high-resolution cameras that operate on deep learning technology. The 30 cameras on the back of the machine, which are linked to scanners, identify the exact growing point of the weeds. Based on the diameter and type of weed, it calculates how long and how many lasers are needed to destroy the weeds effectively.
Powerful laser technology
30x 150W CO2 lasers:
The LaserWeeder is equipped with 30 independent 150W CO2 lasers operating with a dual mirror. These lasers fire every 50 milliseconds with sub-millimeter precision to eliminate weeds without damaging crops. By aiming the laser precisely at the growth point, the weeds are heated from the inside, causing the cell structure to break down and the weeds to slowly die.
Optimal workability
Bedtop lighting:
Thanks to the 9 LED bedtop light bars, the system remains effective in all weather conditions and throughout the day and night. This ensures that the LaserWeeder is always ready to perform, regardless of field conditions.
Operator app:
The Carbon Robotics Operator app provides a user-friendly interface that enables you to easily control and customize your LaserWeeder. With real-time feedback on speed, laser status, performance and notifications – you keep full control of the weeding process from your tractor.
Advantages for farmers
Increased yield and quality
Unlike traditional methods such as tillage and the use of chemical herbicides, the LaserWeeder leaves soil microbiology intact. This regenerative approach leads to healthy crops and higher yields.
Cost savings
By using automated robots, farmers can reduce the variable costs of manual labor and the use of crop protection products such as herbicides. The LaserWeeder works day and night, significantly reducing labor and chemical costs.
Regenerative agriculture
The LaserWeeder offers a laser-guided, autonomous solution for weed management, reducing or eliminating the need for harmful herbicides. This promotes more sustainable farming practices and contributes to healthier soil.
Economic route to organic agriculture
With the LaserWeeder, weed control becomes cost-effective without the need for herbicides or manual labor. This makes it more feasible for farmers to certify their crops as organic, which increases yields and improves soil health.
