Weeding actually seems like a fantastic usecase for those humanoid robots like figure, unitree, atlas etc. it’s easy and accurate plant recognition is mostly a solved problem.

They've got some robots that do it already, targeting weeds with lasers.
Yeah but they’re never going to be as versatile as a humanoid that can identify one, move the crop gently aside and rip it out of the ground. I’m sure the lasers fail pretty quickly after the plants are a few inches tall due to lack of visibility.
