Buyer’s guide: weeding robots

How they work

Cameras and AI tell crop from weed; the robot then hoes, cuts, burns with a laser, zaps with electricity or sprays a tiny dose on the weed only. Under-vine models use sensing blades that swing around the trunk.

What to check before buying

  • Which crops and growth stages it is proven on
  • Acres or hectares per day and per charge
  • Whether it works in the row, between rows or both
