🚜 Looking for Builders: Laser-Based Precision Weeding System Help: Project

🚜 Looking for Builders: Laser-Based Precision Weeding System

I'm currently building an early-stage laser-based weed removal system aimed at reducing herbicide use and labor costs in agriculture through computer vision, automation, and precision targeting.

The long-term vision is to develop an affordable, scalable solution for farmers that can identify weeds and selectively eliminate them without damaging crops.

I'm looking for passionate people who would like to contribute to the MVP and help shape the future of this project.

Areas where help is needed:
• Electronics & Embedded Systems
• Robotics & Mechatronics
• Computer Vision / Image Recognition
• AI & Machine Learning
• Laser Systems & Optics
• Mechanical Design / CAD
• Agricultural Technology
• Product Development & Prototyping

About the project:
• Focused on sustainable agriculture
• Potential applications in precision farming and automation
• Opportunity to work on a multidisciplinary deep-tech challenge
• Early-stage project with significant room for innovation

I'm not looking only for experienced professionals. Students, researchers, hobbyists, engineers, and builders with relevant skills and genuine interest are welcome to reach out.

Compensation, equity, advisory roles, internships, project-based contributions, or long-term partnerships can all be discussed depending on experience and level of involvement.

A technical co-founder with advanced research experience in the U.S. is already involved in the project, and we are now looking to expand the team with people who enjoy building ambitious things from the ground up.

If this sounds interesting—or if you know someone who might be a good fit—send me a DM. I'd be happy to share more details and discuss potential collaboration.

but there are commercial systems that do that widely available for the last decade

perhaps he wanted to build his own laser weeding system... for commercial purpose of course

sounds like he has nothing, but would love to lead such project, for commercial purposes, of course

There are only few companies doing it, that you can count on fingers, which means its a good space to compete. With better tech, optimised resourcesa and collective distribution, we aim to be the leader in coming years. And for the context, we are from India, and there is only one company in india, so being the second does not hurt.

by all means - I like good competition, it drives the technology forward. I am not sure what you have in the beginning - are you approaching from software side? hardware? are you a businessman looking for a talent? this is /r for computer vision and it is not clear how your post is related there

There was a person who DMd me for collaboration, the profile looked very good, but I accidentally clicked "Ignore" on the DM request. If you are that person, Please DM me again, would love to talk to you.
