Abstract[English]
Weeds are often viewed negatively because they compete with desired plants (like crops or flowers) for resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients. They can also hinder gardening and farming operations, harbor pests and diseases, and potentially pose risks to humans and animals. Chemical solutions for weeds can be costly, not entirely effective and can cause long term negative impacts on the environment. Discussed herein is a new technology directed to a laser-based technique for weed control. The system can be attached to a tractor, a drone (an unmanned aircraft that is guided remotely or autonomously), a ATV (all-terrain vehicle), or in general any vehicle or piece of equipment such as agricultural equipment.[French]
Les mauvaises herbes sont souvent considérées négativement car elles font concurrence aux plantes souhaitées (telles que des plantes cultivées ou des fleurs) pour des ressources telles que la lumière du soleil, l'eau et les nutriments. Elles peuvent également gêner les opérations de jardinage et d'élevage, abriter des nuisibles et des maladies, et potentiellement présenter des risques pour les humains et les animaux. Les solutions chimiques pour les mauvaises herbes peuvent être coûteuses, pas entièrement efficaces et peuvent avoir des impacts négatifs à long terme sur l'environnement. L'invention concerne une nouvelle technologie concernant une technique basée sur le laser pour la lutte contre les mauvaises herbes. Le système peut être fixé sur un tracteur, un drone (un aéronef sans pilote qui est guidé à distance ou de manière autonome), un ATV (véhicule tout-terrain), ou en général tout véhicule ou équipement tel qu'un équipement agricole.
