OT - Weeding robot

Thought some of yall would find this neat. It will be interesting to see how far they can take it.

Pretty neat, now for the birds, deer, rabbits and bugs*

Cool idea. Wonder how it would work in the hard, packed, red clay of north Alabama.

We have a Roomba from iRobot (some of the developers of the Tertil are from there apparently) and it works quite well.

Yeah! It'd have to have a pick attachment on this red clay. (NM)

There’s another robot I’ve seen that is hanging in the air above a large box bed and plants, weeds, and waters your vegetables. Pretty cool. Technology is amazing


Something on a much larger scale is this system that uses infrared light to identify weeds and only sprays when it sees a weed.
