The Element drives itself continuously at around two miles per hour over farmland, using an advanced computer vision system to identify crops and unwanted botanical invaders. With two-axis robotic arms positioned close the ground, it can flick weeds out of the way where they’ll dry out before they can grow seeds and spread.
