Xiong Chang, CEO and Co-founder of Tensorfield Agriculture, presents the “Lessons Learned Building and Deploying a Weed-Killing Robot” tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
Agriculture today faces chronic labor shortages and growing challenges around herbicide resistance, as well as consumer backlash to chemical inputs. Smarter, more sustainable approaches are needed to secure the ongoing production of fresh produce within the United States. In this session, Chang introduces his company’s unique robot, which uses high-speed computer vision to enable extremely precise, pesticide-free robotic weeding.
Chang highlights some of the key challenges his team faced in developing the robot. He explains Tensorfield’s business model and shows how its technology has the potential to save millions of dollars in labor and material costs for some of the largest growers in the United States. And he shares how Tensorfield plans to scale its business.
