Carbon Robotics Partners With iMerit to Enable In-Field AI Customization With Large Plant Model
Carbon Robotics partnered with iMerit and replaced its suite of AI vision models for crops and weeds with a single “Large Plant Model.” Farmers can immediately adjust what their laser weeder targets by tagging images from their own fields as “crop” or “weed” in an iPad app, with no retraining. The Robot Report reported the news on August 27, 2026.
What happened
The Robot Report reported on August 27, 2026, that Carbon Robotics partnered with iMerit and replaced its suite of crop-specific AI vision models with a single “Large Plant Model.”
Why it matters
For farmers who want to adjust how their laser weeders distinguish crops from weeds in their own fields using a small number of image examples, the ability to fine-tune the system’s criteria on site is important. Being able to configure it without waiting for retraining or new software for each crop or region makes it easier to accommodate field-specific operating conditions.
