Chinese agricultural technology has advanced with the introduction of several AI-powered robotic innovations aimed at improving farming efficiency and reducing chemical use. Huagong Technology unveiled China's first 24/7 intelligent laser weeding robot in Wuhan, Hubei Province, capable of destroying up to 320,000 weeds per hour with a weed removal rate exceeding 95%. The robot uses AI vision and up to 32 laser heads to precisely target weeds, making it four to eight times more efficient than traditional manual and herbicide methods. Additionally, researchers in Xinjiang have developed the world's first laser cotton topping robot, which automates the labor-intensive task of cotton topping. This robot integrates sensors, machine vision, and laser control technology to achieve a cotton bud recognition rate of 98.9%, and operates at a speed more than ten times that of manual labor, covering 6 to 8 acres per hour. These innovations represent a significant shift towards mechanization and AI integration in Chinese agriculture, offering chemical-free alternatives and addressing labor shortages. Other developments include solar-powered AI robots in the U.S. autonomously removing weeds and China's deployment of coordinated robots in grain bins to manage rice crops efficiently.
