## Common questions

### What is RHIC?

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.

### How much does RHIC cost?

RHIC's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for RHIC from AgriPass. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.

### Is RHIC actually deployed in the real world?

Yes. RHIC is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.
