We started a discussion in a Signal group, but wanted to move it here for more involvement. The proposal on the table is to use own source hardware and software to hack together an autonomous weeding machine, maybe using AI to recognize weeds versus crop plants.
I think one of the keys is that they have to be able to be constructed relatively cheaply and with off-the-shelf components. If it costs $5000 and you need an engineering degree to build the final product it isn’t really a leveler, more of a toy for wealthy land owners.
