Two engineering students built a robot that zaps weeds with lasers instead of spraying them

Short summary

Two engineering students built Harvested Robotics, a tractor-mounted weeder that uses AI computer vision to identify weeds and lasers to kill them. The approach reduces both costs and chemical herbicide usage for Indian farmers. The system represents a practical application of AI in agriculture aimed at smallholder farming economics.
