Carbon Robotics builds the industry-leading AI-powered LaserWeeder G2™ which combines computer vision, AI deep learning technology, robotics, and lasers to identify crops versus weeds - and shoots the weeds with lasers.
More than 100 of the world’s largest specialty crop growers have deployed LaserWeeders in North America, Europe, and Australia. LaserWeeders are designed at Carbon Robotics headquarters in Seattle, Washington and manufactured in our state of the art facility in Richland, Washington.
Carbon Robotics has raised $157 million in capital since 2018 from investors that include BOND, NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm), Anthos Capital, Fuse Venture Capital, Ignition Partners, Revolution, Sozo Ventures, and Voyager Capital.
What’s it like working at Carbon Robotics? We are a no-nonsense team of passionate people with a bias for action. We know that our ability to execute on our ideas is what sets us apart. We do what we say we are going to do, externally and internally. We trust our people to act independently and make practical, real-world decisions.

Description
Carbon Robotics is the leader in physical AI for agriculture, helping farmers become more profitable and sustainable. Its flagship product, the LaserWeeder™, is the world’s leading commercial laser weeding system with hundreds of units operated by farmers in 15 countries worldwide.
LaserWeeder combines computer vision, AI, robotics, and high-powered lasers to identify weeds and destroy them with sub-millimeter precision—no herbicides, hand labor, or soil disturbance required. Growers achieve weed control cost reductions of up to 80% and crop yield increases of 5–50%, with payback in one to three years. The system is powered by Carbon AI’s Large Plant Model (LPM), trained on 150 million labeled plants, and can start weeding any crop or field in minutes.
The company's second product is Carbon Autonomy, the most dependable tractor autonomy solution. Carbon Autonomy includes a retrofit tractor autonomy kit for John Deere tractors, autonomy software, and remote supervision for real-time interventions if required.
Carbon Robotics is based in Seattle, Washington State, USA and has raised $185 million in capital since 2018 from leading investors including NVIDIA’s NVentures and BOND.
