Agricultural researchers at the University of Arizona are working with a Czech startup company to bring the next generation of high-precision, high-speed weeding to desert farms. The collaboration with Ullmanna, a company based in the Czech Republic, is focused on developing an automated weeding machine designed to increase efficiency and accuracy in crop management.

The technology merges a system developed by the university, a centimeter-scale resolution spot sprayer, with Ullmanna’s vision system, which is based on artificial intelligence.

Adam Legocky of Ullmanna, explains the AI system identifies the location of weeds, then activates the precision sprayer with centimeter-level accuracy. This process is visualized in real-time by the camera system, with red dots representing targets a
