Herbicide usage reduced 95% in trials of Asterix

Herbicide usage has been reduced 95% in trials of Asterix, the first fully automated farming robot that uses a deep learning neural network to map its way around weeds and crops, and carefully drop a precise amount of herbicide directly onto the weed, without touching the crop or soil.

This light-weight, autonomous robot sprayer is equipped with a patented, vision-based, ultra-high precision nozzle system to deliver herbicide droplets.
