The agricultural robot Solix Sprayer autonomously searches for and destroys weeds.

Developed by Solinftec, the Solix Sprayer autonomously navigates its way through crop fields. It uses a set of built-in sensors to scan every plant it passes over from root to leaf. If the onboard Alice AI system detects a weed, then a herbicide is selectively applied. The robot also creates a digital map of the field showing where weeds have been found and treated. One robot is capable of processing up to 40.5 hectares of agricultural land per day. In addition, thanks to a lighting system and a battery charged by solar panels, the Sprayer robot can work 24 hours a day. In its current form, the Solix is ​​optimized for use on crops such as wheat, soybeans and corn. In US trials, the technology has reduced the use of herbicides by 70%.
