This weed-killing AI robot can tell crops apart

A slew of AI weed killers are on the horizon and have the potential to disrupt the multibillion dollar pesticides business. Among them is Swiss-company ecoRobotix and its weed-killing robot. It's solar-powered and can kill weeds for 12 hours straight without an operator at the helm. EcoRobotix uses 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods that spray entire fields. Founded in 2011, ecoRobotix develops autonomous weeding robots, which help farmers to produce healthier food with a more efficient and sustainable use of herbicides.
