Interesting robotic weed killing thing: ‘Ten years ago this was science fiction’: the rise of weedkilling robots

That thing would overload and blow up in our part of the country.

I wonder how long it will before this technology trickles down to the homeowner/hobby farmer level. I personally dislike using herbicides, but hand weeding is getting old too.

I love this subject! One of the other guys on the forum posted this video a couple weeks ago.

Robotic lawn mowers are already commonplace. Several manufactures sell them. They come out at night while you sleep and quietly cut your grass.
Xbox has had farm simulator games for years. You can gps map your entire farm and automate many tasks in the game. Technology has already caught up with fantasy video games. These are likely the Future Farmers of America!

What if it had options like: 1- ants, worms. 2- mice, gophers 3- rabbits, coyotes. *4- trespassers

* please consult local authorities before activating option 4. please keep out of reach of children!

It would have it's laser's hands full with weeds and grass around here.

We have a robot vacuum cleaner. No reason why one of these is not available.
