An Organic Weed Control Prototype using Directed Energy and Deep Learning
Organic weed control is a vital to improve crop yield with a sustainable approach. In this work, a directed energy weed control robot prototype specifically designed for organic farms is proposed. The robot uses a novel distributed array robot (DAR) unit for weed treatment. Soybean and corn databases are built to train deep learning neural nets to perform weed recognition. The initial deep learning neural nets show a high performance in classifying crops. The robot uses a patented directed energy plant eradication recipe that is completely organic and UV-C free, with no chemical damage or physical disturbance to the soil. The deep learning can classify 8 common weed species in a soybean field under natural environment with up to 98% accuracy.

A Concept of a Compact and Inexpensive Device for Controlling Weeds with Laser Beams
A prototype of a relatively cheap laser-based weeding device was developed and tested on couch grass (Elytrigia repens (L.) Desv. ex Nevski) mixed with tomatoes. Three types of laser were used (0.3 W, 1 W, and 5 W). A ne…
Design of a six wheel suspension and a three-axis linear actuation mechanism for a laser weeding robot
Mobile robots are increasingly utilized in agriculture to automate labor-intensive tasks such as weeding, sowing, harvesting and soil analysis. Recently, agricultural robots have been developed to detect and remove weeds…
Hardware-Aware YOLO Compression for Low-Power Edge AI on STM32U5 for Weeds Detection in Digital Agriculture
Weeds significantly reduce crop yields worldwide and pose major challenges to sustainable agriculture. Traditional weed management methods, primarily relying on chemical herbicides, risk environmental contamination and l…
Energy-Tweedie: Score meets Score, Energy meets Energy
Denoising and score estimation have long been known to be linked via the classical Tweedie's formula. In this work, we first extend the latter to a wider range of distributions often called "energy models" and denoted el…
DeepWeeds: A Multiclass Weed Species Image Dataset for Deep Learning
Robotic weed control has seen increased research of late with its potential for boosting productivity in agriculture. Majority of works focus on developing robotics for croplands, ignoring the weed management problems fa…
