How Carbon Robotics Is Bringing Physical AI to Farms Around the World

Against the record

LaserWeeder, from Carbon Robotics, is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Delivered and paid for, beyond pilots. The latest milestone on its record is from 13 Feb 2026: Carbon Robotics had raised $177 million in total by February 2026.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.

From the video's description

Our Founder/CEO Paul Mikesell joined the @ShiftAIfm Podcast to talk about everything from the Large Plant Model (LPM) that enables LaserWeeders to recognize brand-new weeds with zero retraining, to the 40% yield gains growers see from cutting chemical spray, and to why autonomy is now table stakes for farms to stay competitive.
