NewGreenfield Robotics operates a fleet of small autonomous weed-cutting robots as a per-acre service for soybean and specialty-crop growers across the US Great Plains. The robots move between crop rows at night and during low-traffic daytime hours, cutting weeds below the soil surface with mechanical blades — entirely without herbicides. Greenfield's service model means growers pay per acre per pass, with no capital expenditure on equipment, maintenance, or storage. The company focuses on soybean fields where in-row herbicide use is tightly constrained, and where physical removal is the only compliant option in organic or transitional fields. Multiple passes per season can eliminate weed populations over time, reducing the long-term weed seed bank in the soil.
NewThe Aigen Element is a small, solar-powered robot designed to work in large swarms across broadacre corn and soybean fields, mechanically destroying weeds at the soil surface using high-speed rotary tools. Because each Element charges from onboard solar panels and requires no tethering or manual battery swaps, swarms of dozens of units can operate across large fields continuously during daylight hours. Computer vision running on an edge AI processor identifies weeds versus crop plants at the row level, triggering the mechanical weed-destruction mechanism only when a weed is detected. The swarm approach means that even if individual units require maintenance, the fleet continues operating — a key reliability advantage over single large machines. Aigen is targeting the US Corn Belt, where herbicide resistance is a growing problem and growers are looking for non-chemical weed-management alternatives.
NewThe Stout Smart Cultivator is an AI-driven mechanical weeding implement that attaches to a standard tractor and uses computer vision to guide high-speed rotary cultivation tools precisely between and within crop rows.
