Carbon Robotics представила революционную ИИ-модель для интеллектуального управления борьбой с сорняками Translation: Carbon Robotics unveils revolutionary AI model for intelligent weed management.

Seattle-based company Carbon Robotics has unveiled a new AI model known as the Large Plant Model (LPM). This innovative system can quickly identify plant species to combat weeds, as reported by TechCrunch.

The company specializes in developing LaserWeeder robots that utilize lasers for weeding agricultural fields. The new LPM has been trained on over 150 million images and data collected by the company’s machines from more than 100 farms across 15 countries.

This model now serves as the foundation for Carbon AI—a system that acts as the brain for their autonomous bots.

Paul Meisel, CEO of Carbon Robotics, mentioned that prior to the introduction of LPM, any time a new weed species emerged, the company had to create new data labels for retraining the machines, a process that took approximately 24 hours.

With the new model, however, it can instantly recognize a novel invasive plant, even if it has never encountered it before.

Founded in 2018, Carbon Robotics began developing the LPM shortly after delivering its first machines in 2022.

The new system will be available to the company’s clients following a software update, enabling farmers to instruct the machine on what to destroy and what to protect by selecting photographs.

Carbon Robotics has raised over $185 million in venture capital.

To recall, in February 2025, Figure introduced its own AI called Helix for integration with robots. According to its creators, the model can «think like a human.»
