Iowa professor developing robotic weeder | Iowa State Engineering
“Weeding has been a long-standing problem for many years because there is no silver bullet—there are just too many variables. And for organic farmers, their options are very limited. Their options are either chemical, laborious or expensive,” says Tang. “My robot design offers the producer a more effective and sustainable alternative.”
