Really cool task our AI agent is learning. Targeted weed spraying is a great application for robots. We can drastically reduce the amount of herbicide used in a parks and community spaces!

Why not have the bot pull the weed once it recognizes it instead of spraying a chemical?

Great question! We actually are working on some low cost arms to attempt this ... but even with just herbicide you can use way less efficient organic solutions with a robot. Human labor requires toxic solutions to optimize for time.

And targeted vegetable garden fertilization!? Use infrared to see which plants are less green than expected and give them a micro fertilizer dose. That would be see cool in combo with the weed sprayer.

Cool! Good you are not in Canada; they will fine you and your robot for using herbicides.

We actually use an organic compound that just prevent light from reaching the leaves.

That's a flat out lie. That is not how traditional weed spraying is done. Total complete abject lie.
