A Swedish company called Ekobot AB has developed a wheeled robot, Ekobot WEAI, that can autonomously identify and remove weeds from fields using metal fingers. The robot, powered by a battery, weighs 600 kg and operates for 10-12 hours on a single charge. Equipped with a machine vision system and GPS, it can cover approximately 10 hectares in a day. The use of AI-powered weed recognition allows the robot to prevent damage to crops by avoiding accidental plucking. Ekobot's technology has already shown promising results, reducing herbicide use by 70% in onion cultivation. The company plans to expand the availability of this technology in multiple countries.
