I guess it must be programmed to recognise what a weed looks like to be able to identify it against what isn’t. Is that AI? I have no idea. Seems like everything at the moment is AI.
Even pre defined parameters can be identified and set using an AI model. In fact I believe this is more likely than installing the AI model on the weed plucking device.
So yes AI.
No, not an active AI model thinking while weeding.
I mean, pattern matching has been a thing for a long time, and getting more and more sophisticated, but slapping an AI label on a (albeit new and interesting) robot tractor seems unnecessary, and degrades the meaning of the term.
And don’t get me started on calling their crop ‘5G Onions’!

If it uses training and a model, and not just pre-defined parameters, then yes, it is a form of AI

Most likely it is programmed to if the specific crop at all stages of development and eliminate everything else.
Yeah, I say NOT AI.

Laser weeder’s have been doing this for years. I don’t think AI has anything to do with it other than a marketing buzz words
