About Carbon Robotics
Founded in 2018 by Paul Mikesell and Shay Myers, in Seattle, US, Carbon Autonomous Robotics Systems, doing business as Carbon Robotics develops autonomous robotic systems for agriculture, specifically targeting weed control. Carbon Robotics specializes in advanced agricultural technology, prominently featuring its flagship product, the LaserWeeder G2. This machine employs state-of-the-art computer vision, deep learning, and robotics to precisely target and eliminate weeds using laser technology. The LaserWeeder G2 is designed to optimize weed control without the use of herbicides or mechanical tools, addressing critical labor shortages and significantly reducing operational costs for farmers. Its functionality allows for the eradication of weeds that are as small as the tip of a pen, ensuring crops are left untouched and unharmed, thereby protecting soil health and enhancing crop quality. The product is geared toward a diverse clientele, including large-scale organic farms in North America and Europe, particularly those cultivating crops such as corn and soybeans. Carbon Robotics generates its revenue primarily through the sale of its LaserWeeder G2 and associated services, employing a direct-to-consumer business model. The company engages farmers and agricultural businesses, providing them with solutions that significantly lower labor expenses and improve efficiency in weed management. The pricing structure is designed to be competitive within the agricultural technology market, with the LaserWeeder G2 positioned as a long-term investment that offers substantial cost savings over its lifespan. Carbon Robotics may also provide ongoing technical support and maintenance services to ensure optimal performance of its products, contributing to customer satisfaction and retention. Additionally, Carbon Robotics is focused on expanding its market presence beyond North America into Europe and Asia by late 2026, aiming to introduce its innovative solutions to growers in these regions.
