Mechanical weeding robots from Greenfield Robotics (Cheney, Kansas). Battery-powered row-crop cultivators. One machine for every 80 to 100 acres of row crops as a rule of thumb.
Agricultural robotics from Greenfield Robotics.

Model specifications and operating notes.
“According to Greenfield’s Nathan Dyrud in US media, each robot costs $36,500 (€32,100).” Rule of thumb: one machine for every 80 to 100 acres of row crops (a 200-acre grower would likely need 2 or 3 robots; a 300-acre operation 3 or 4). Working rate about 0.85 acres per hour; University of Vermont pilot: a single robot covered around seven acres a day. Each robot runs on two swappable lithium-ion batteries, good for three to three-and-a-half hours before they need roughly the same amount of time to recharge (pull the batteries out or charge in place through a port).
