WeedBot builds high-precision laser-weeding machines for organic farms, attaching to tractors and using AI vision to distinguish weeds from crops in real time before targeting them with a laser beam while in motion. The first commercial machine was sold in spring 2026 to an organic carrot grower in Belgium, as reported by ResearchLatvia. An EU-funded research project (April 2026–September 2027) is advancing next-generation modular high-power laser-weeding technology for vegetable growing, with a total budget of €320,260 (€224,244 EU-funded). The company received seed investment in May 2023 from Overkill Ventures, LatBAN, and Cambridge Agritech.
