I’ve written about the atomization of farming before, but now Nvidia and Carbon Robotics are demonstrating the LaserWeeder G2. It has 24 high powered lasers and 24 GPU’s and can purportedly zap 10,000 weeds per minute, which breaks down to 167 weeds per second.

That’s an impressive amount of computing horsepower that finds weeds and targets them with lasers – instead of using chemical herbicides. This saves money and the hazards of expensive chemicals.

Here it is in live action (without all the flashy graphics and the BRAAAMs):
