The Verdant Robotics Sharpshooter is a weeding robot by Verdant Robotics, priced at $250K-$400K. It is commercially available and deployed on farms worldwide. Compatible crops include lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, onions. It delivers up to 75% labor cost reduction.

The Verdant Sharpshooter is a multi-action robotic platform that combines AI-powered plant identification with precision micro-spraying, mechanical thinning, and targeted fertilization. Using millimeter-accurate computer vision running at 20 frames per second, it distinguishes crops from weeds and applies micro-doses of herbicide only where needed, reducing chemical use by up to 95%. The platform operates autonomously through crop rows at speeds up to 5 mph, handling lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, and other specialty crops. Each Sharpshooter can cover 15-25 acres per day and integrates multiple farming operations into a single pass, saving both time and labor. Deployed across major California growing regions, it represents a breakthrough in multi-action autonomous farming.
