Carbon Robotics adds LaserThinning, using the LaserWeeder to thin crop plants as well as kill weeds

Carbon Robotics/LaserWeeder

Carbon Robotics added LaserThinning to its LaserWeeder through a software update. The same lasers now remove surplus seedlings in overseeded fields like lettuce and broccoli, eliminating the need for chemicals, hand labor or weather-dependent timing.

• LaserThinning targets overseeded fields deliberately thinned to optimal crop spacing.
• Works day or night without chemicals, hand crews, or wind/moisture dependence; shipped as a software update to the entire fleet.
