Engineers just built a solar-powered robot that hunts weeds for farmers. But instead of spraying chemicals, it rips them out from the roots. The robot was created by a startup called Iogen. It drives through the crop fields using AI and scans the ground for weeds. And when it finds one, it lowers mechanical arms with blades attached to the end. Then it cuts the weeds directly from the roots so it can't grow back. That's a big deal because weeds can reduce crop yields by up to 40%. And farmers have been using chemicals to fight them which have been damaging the soil and polluting the environment. But it gets even better. It can run on 14 hours a day using solar power and is designed to work in real farm conditions like muddy fields. So one final question. Should farmers replace chemicals with robots like these?
