What is news?

In order to deal with the problem of weeds in the fields due to lack of laborers in the US, Startup Again has prepared a robot operated from Artificial Intelligence (AI). It has recently been seen uprooting weeds in a cotton field in California. The company claims that this robot named Element can help the environment to save farmers’ money and keep harmful chemicals away from crops.

Inspiration

Where did the inspiration get?

Richard Vurdan, a mechanical engineer and co-founder and co-founder and co-founder and chief technical officer of Again, who spent 5 years in Tesla, said that his relatives described the weed as an expensive curse for farming. The effect of weeds on this is decreasing, but due to lack of laborers, chemicals often remain the only option. Given this problem, he started working on the robot, which solves both these problems.

Specialty

This is how Rabot works

While on one side the workers are reluctant to work in the heat of the afternoon, this wheel robot runs with solar energy and works with AI. The element robot resembles a large table on the wheels, above which solar panels are installed. Metal arms equipped with small blades bends down to run a hoe between crop plants. The AI system of the robot identifies weeds by taking data from on-board cameras.
