Solar-powered robot zaps weeds without chemicals
Out in the California sun, a new kind of farmhand is hard at work. Powered by solar energy and guided by artificial intelligence, the solar-powered weeding robot for cotton fields is offering farmers a smarter and more sustainable way to tackle weeds. This technology is arriving just in time, as growers across the country face a shortage of available workers and weeds that are becoming increasingly resistant to herbicides. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide — free when you join my Farmers everywhere are facing a tough reality. There simply aren't enough people willing to do the backbreaking work of weeding fields, and the weeds themselves are getting harder to kill with chemicals. Many farmers would rather avoid using herbicides, but until now, they haven't had a practical alternative. Kenny Lee, CEO of Aigen, puts it plainly: farmers don't love chemicals, but they use them because it's often the only tool available. Aigen's mission is to give them a better choice. Aigen's Element robot is designed to meet the real-world needs of modern agriculture. It runs entirely on solar power, which means farmers can save money on fuel while also reducing their environmental impact. The robot uses advanced AI and onboard cameras to spot and remove weeds with impressive accuracy, all without damaging the crops. Its rugged design allows it to handle rough terrain and changing weather, and it can work alongside other robots, communicating wirelessly to cover large fields efficiently. The Element robot isn't limited to cotton; it's also being used in soy and sugar beet fields, showing just how versatile this technology can be. At Bowles Farm in California's Central Valley, Element robots are already proving their worth. These robots are keeping cotton fields weed-free without the need for chemicals, freeing up workers to focus on more skilled tasks and helping farmers manage their operations more efficiently. The technology is not just a promise for the future. It's delivering real results today. Switching to solar-powered, AI-driven robots brings a host of benefits. Farmers no longer need to rely on herbicides, which leads to cleaner crops and healthier soil. Labor costs can drop since workers can shift from manual weeding to supervising and maintaining the robots. The robots also collect valuable data on crop health, pests and diseases, giving farmers better information to make decisions. And because the robots run on solar power, farms can reduce their carbon footprint while saving money on energy. Aigen's Element robot goes beyond being just another cool piece of technology. It really shows what can happen when farming and innovation come together. As more growers start using solar-powered robots like this, chemical-free fields are moving from wishful thinking to something we can actually achieve. Would you feel comfortable trusting a robot to handle important tasks and help shape the future of how we grow our food?

Trump threatens to escalate trade war amid confusion over new tariff rates
Donald Trump vowed to further escalate his trade wars on Tuesday, threatening US tariffs of up to 200% on foreign drugs and 50% on copper, amid widespread confusion around his shifting plans. Hours after saying his latest deadline for a new wave of steep duties was 'not 100% firm', the US president declared that 'no extensions will be granted' beyond 1 August. 'There has been no change to this date, and there will be no change,' Trump wrote on social media, a day after signing an executive order that changed the date from 9 July. Related: Trump tariffs explained: what's changed and why have Asian countries been hit so hard? On Monday, he announced plans to impose US tariffs of up to 40% on goods imported from 14 countries, including Bangladesh, Japan and South Korea. But he extended a pause on the duties' introduction, allowing three more weeks for negotiations. More letters will be sent to countries, informing them of new tariff rates 'today, tomorrow, and for the next short period of time', according to Trump. Global stock markets have largely shrugged off the latest threats. On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 was up just 0.03% and the Dow Jones industrial average was down 0.3%. In recent weeks, some investors appear to have embraced the Taco – or Trump Always Chickens Out – trade. Speaking on Tuesday at the White House, Trump laid out plans to step up his controversial trade strategy, which economists have warned risks exacerbating inflation. Imported copper will face a US tariff of 50% in a bid to bolster US production of the metal, the administration announced. US copper prices rose 12% to hit record levels. After providing manufacturers with around a year or a year and a half's notice, pharmaceutical imports are also 'going to be tariffed at a very, very high rate', the president said. 'Like 200%.' 'We're going to be announcing pharmaceuticals, chips and various couple of other things – you know, big ones,' he added, of the administration's tariff plans.

EU, Mexico open to trade negotiations after latest Trump tariffs announced
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, in response to President Trump's latest tariff announcement, say they are open to trade talks but won't rule out taking countermeasures. Trump in his Saturday letters to von der Leyen and Sheinbaum announced a 30 percent tariff rate on goods imported into the U.S. beginning Aug. 1, after an initial 90-day pause and deadline delay lapses on the import taxes. 'Imposing 30 percent tariffs on EU exports would disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic,' the European Union (EU) leader wrote in a statement. 'Few economies in the world match the European Union's level of openness and adherence to fair trading practices,' von der Leyen continued. 'The EU has consistently prioritized a negotiated solution with the U.S., reflecting our commitment to dialogue, stability, and a constructive transatlantic partnership.' Still, the European leader said the commission is open to working toward an agreement before the latest deadline arrives. 'We remain ready to continue working towards an agreement by August 1,' von der Leyen wrote. 'At the same time, we will take all necessary steps to safeguard EU interests, including the adoption of proportionate countermeasures if required.' She added, 'Meanwhile, we continue to deepen our global partnerships, firmly anchored in the principles of rules-based international trade.' Sheinbaum on Saturday said Mexican leaders met with the Trump administration on Thursday to discuss 'issues of security, migration, border and water management.' 'We mentioned at the meeting that this was an unfair deal and that we disagreed,' she wrote in a statement, according to translation. She added later, 'In other words, Mexico is already in negotiations.' In April, Trump hit the EU with a 20 percent tariff. Following his 'Liberation Day' announcement, von der Leyen said the commission was open to trade discussions. Later in the month, she lashed out at Trump, accusing him of leaning on an 'unpredictable tariff policy.' The president has in the past claimed the EU has been unfair to the U.S. and argued that the bloc of nations was created to 'screw' America. Several of the union's member states — including Germany, Italy, France and the Netherlands — are considered top trading partners. Mexico, which is the U.S.'s top trading partner, along with Canada earlier this year were slapped with 25 percent tariffs — with the exception of goods covered under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. Sheinbaum and Trump have also clashed in the past over the import taxes. In her statement Saturday, the Mexican leader said trade talks were focused on looking to protect companies and jobs 'on both sides of the border.' Trump in recent days began sending letters to various countries with new tariff rates set to begin on Aug. 1. The duties on goods coming into the U.S. have hit top trade partners and poorer countries alike as he reorients the nation's trade policy. So far, the leaders of 25 countries have received letters with updated 'retaliatory' tariff rates ranging from 20 percent to 50 percent. While he originally said the August date was 'not firm' for imposing the taxes, the president has since doubled down on the deadline — though the Trump administration has left open the door for more trade deals. Trump has so far announced just one official agreement with the United Kingdom as well as frameworks for deals with China and Vietnam. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
