About the company
Carbon Robotics creates an autonomous weeder for farms. Its main product, the Autonomous LaserWeeder, attaches to a tractor and operates without a driver to identify and eliminate weeds using computer vision and high-powered lasers, reducing the need for chemical herbicides and manual labor. The system first recognizes crops vs. weeds with its AI-powered vision, then fires lasers to kill weeds while preserving crops. This approach differentiates Carbon Robotics from traditional chemical herbicides and manual weeding by offering a precise, on-field weed control tool that can be bought or leased by large vegetable growers. The company aims to lower farmers’ costs and environmental impact, improve crop yields, and expand sustainable farming practices.

Carbon Robotics has launched its Carbon Autonomy Ready program, with Great Plains Manufacturing joining as the first member. The programme establishes technical specifications for integrating manufacturers' implements into Carbon Robotics' autonomy platform for tractors. The partnership will enable tractors running Carbon Autonomy to connect real-time data from Great Plains equipment and make autonomous adjustments to settings including depth, down pressure, and levelling. The programme aims to work with any implement manufacturer, allowing farmers to choose equipment whilst maintaining autonomous capabilities. The integration will be showcased at the 2026 Farm Progress Show, featuring a Great Plains HT1100 Terra-Max with integrated sensors. Carbon Robotics specialises in AI and robotics for agriculture, whilst Great Plains Manufacturing produces seeding and soil management equipment.
Carbon Robotics has been named to the 2026 CNBC Disruptor 50 list for the third consecutive year. The Seattle-based agricultural AI company joins innovators like Anthropic, OpenAI and Anduril on the list recognising fast-growing private companies transforming their industries through technology. For the fiscal year ending 31 January 2026, Carbon Robotics surpassed $100 million in annual revenue and now serves customers across 15 countries. The company recently launched the world's first Large Plant Model, trained on 150 million plants, which powers its LaserWeeder and Carbon ATK autonomous tractor products. Carbon Robotics' systems have eliminated over 40 billion weeds across more than 500,000 acres, helping farmers reduce herbicide dependency whilst improving crop yields and sustainability.
Carbon Robotics is using AI and NVIDIA technology to eliminate pesticides in US agriculture. The company's LaserWeeder machines use 24 NVIDIA GPUs to analyse thousands of plant images per second, targeting weeds' growth centres with lasers to prevent regrowth without chemical herbicides. The technology addresses findings from the Environmental Working Group's 2026 guide, which showed 96% of "Dirty Dozen" fruits and vegetables tested positive for pesticides, with spinach topping the list. Carbon Robotics' approach doesn't disrupt soil like mechanical weeding and eliminates chemical runoff into waterways. The company's autonomous tractor attachment, Carbon ATK, uses NVIDIA Jetson Orin processors. Carbon Robotics was founded by Paul Mikesell, former Uber executive and co-founder of Isilon Systems, which was acquired by EMC for $2.5 billion in 2010.
Carbon Robotics has appointed Kevan Krysler as Chief Financial Officer and announced it surpassed $100 million in annual revenue for its fiscal year ending 31 January 2026.

Krysler brings nearly 30 years of experience, most recently serving as CFO at Everpure, formerly Pure Storage. He previously held senior finance roles at VMware and was a partner at KPMG. Carbon Robotics develops AI-powered agricultural solutions including the LaserWeeder and Carbon ATK autonomous tractor kit. The company recently launched the world's first Large Plant Model, an AI system trained on 150 million plants that powers its products.
