RHIC at Italy

RHIC (Robot of Human Inspired Cultivation) is an AI-powered robotic weeding platform that combines computer vision with real-time contextual AI to guide selective mechanical actuation. It removes weeds at the root level while preserving soil structure, eliminating the need for chemical herbicides. Designed for high-value vegetable crops, RHIC replaces up to 20 manual workers per day and is priced under $200,000.
