Boaz Ashkenazy announces Carbon Robotics’ laser weeder, led by Paul Mikesell, can kill unseen weeds on first try without retraining

Carbon Robotics, led by Paul Mikesell, built a laser weeder with a vision model that generalizes to identify and destroy previously unseen weeds without retraining, enabling farmers to point at a weed onscreen and have it eliminated on the first try. The technology could sharply reduce pesticide use by targeting individual plants at scale, and the full discussion is on ShiftAI.fm (link in comments).
