robotics in agriculture

A 17-year-old from a small Nashik village watched his uncle return home exhausted from long days of spraying fields. That longing to ease a loved one’s struggle sparked an idea, and he began building a simple, smart robot from scrap that is now helping farmers work with far less strain.

Founder of Harvested Robotics, Rahul Arepaka (22) built Rakshak, an AI-powered laser-weeding robot that combats weeds without harming the crops. He is now using it to help farmers earn more.
