Did you know 99% of pesticides are derived from fossil fuels? We went into this knowing that going up against the pesticide industry, let alone the fossil fuel industry, would be a major challenge. Diesel tractor sprayers can only operate in wind speeds below 15mph because pesticides (pesticides include herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides) get blown off target at higher speeds. This timelapse video shows a few of our fully autonomous solar powered robots mechanically removing weeds on half mile long crop rows. In 50 mph winds! No fossil fuels? No problem ✅ #agriculture #robotics #solar

Spotted in Fargo, ND this week: AgFunder portco Aigen (and its co-founder Kenny Lee) showed off its solar-powered weed management robot at the grand opening of the Grand Farm Innovation Shop. A great way to kick off AgTech Week 2024!

At Aigen, we’re committed to not only developing innovative AgTech solutions for farmers but also building strong, cohesive teams and having fun while doing it! Our journey is ongoing, and we are thrilled to celebrate each new achievement along the way. Check out these pictures from our team ping pong event! 🏓 #teamwork #teambuilding #AgTech #innovation #technology

50 robots arriving at customer farms! Each ‘Element’ represents countless hours of innovation, testing and refinement. Our goal has always been to push the boundaries of what's possible, and this delivery marks a pivotal step in that journey. #robotics #agtech #agriculture #innovation

Have you ever seen a fleet of solar powered robots? ☀️ Have you ever seen a fleet of solar powered robots that run autonomously with onboard AI models? Hands off. 🙌 Have you ever seen a fleet of solar powered robots that are so efficient, they maintain full battery SoC well into the evening? 🔋 This team has 👀 The small lights in the field behind us are a glimpse of the future. A future not powered by fossil fuel. #solar #robotics #agriculture

Farmers face a persistent challenge: invasive weeds that diminish crop yields and threaten their already slim profit margins. Meanwhile, traditional pesticides not only hurt the land and soil, but are also losing effectiveness. Enter Aigen, a roomba for the farm. Kenny Lee recently joined Built For Earth to share how their solar-powered autonomous robot is turning agriculture on its head. Listen below:
