Description
Feng Gao and co-authors review robot methods for killing weeds in work from 2026. Farmers face pressure to spray fewer chemicals while still protecting crops. Robots that treat only the spots where weeds grow offer one path forward.
Much past work focused on spotting weeds, not on the tools that remove them. Gao and the team sort removal tools by how they act on the plant. Their groups cover pulling and cutting, spraying, heat, lasers, and electric shocks. Each tool needs a different kind of signal from the spotting system. The review helps builders match the right tool to the crop, field, and weed type.
