This is a really impressive project. Precision weed control (as opposed to herbicide spray) is an incredibly important innovation for the future of the environment — without restricting activities and sports which rely on weed control.
This blog post contains a all the info on the project
It is a prototype built at the University of Waterloo — so not something you can go out and buy, but incredibly impressive!
It's simple and clearly extensible and I think it is a no-brainer for these things to exist. To some extent I imagine these sorts of robotics are already in use for certain commercial applications, but this has the potential to target more common and widespread use cases.
