## Common questions

### What is Element?

Aigen is a US agricultural robotics company that builds the Element, a solar-powered autonomous weeding robot for row crops such as cotton, soy, and sugar beet. The second-generation Element uses a custom 205W solar panel and regenerative wheel motors to operate for over 14 hours per day, covering up to 20 acres per robot using onboard AI vision to identify and eliminate weeds with mechanical ground strikes without herbicides. RTK GPS derived from planter data guides the robot along rows, and the unit is priced at $50,000 with an additional $20,000 per fleet for software services.

### Who makes Element?

Element is made by Aigen, based in Richland, Washington, USA, founded in 2020.

### Where is Element deployed?

No verified deployments of Element are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
