What We Do

Carbon Robotics builds the industry-leading AI-powered LaserWeeder™ which combines computer vision AI deep learning technology robotics and lasers to identify crops versus weeds - and shoots the weeds with lasers. More than 100 of the world’s largest specialty crop growers have deployed LaserWeeders™ in North America Europe and Australia. This no-touch precision technology is effective day and night in over 100 crops in both organic and conventional farming. LaserWeeders™ are designed at Carbon Robotics headquarters in Seattle Washington and manufactured in our state of the art new manufacturing facility in Richland Washington. Carbon Robotics has raised $157 million in capital since 2018 from investors that include BOND NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm) Anthos Capital Fuse Venture Capital Ignition Partners Revolution Sozo Ventures and Voyager Capital. What’s it like working at Carbon Robotics? We are a no-nonsense team of passionate people with a bias for action. We know that our ability to execute on our ideas is what sets us apart. We do what we say we are going to do externally and internally. We trust our people to act independently and make practical real-world decisions.

Why Work With Us

The Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder™ implement uses precision computer vision and sophisticated AI to kill weeds with millimeter accuracy. Laserweeding delivers consistency that puts growers back in control of their schedules amid labor shortages chemical concerns and rising costs. For high-density crops laserweeding is the only automated solution.
