Dandy Technology develops an autonomous lawn care robot that targets weeds by applying a small dose of herbicide directly to them, using AI-driven image recognition to identify broadleaf weeds with high accuracy. The system aims to cut herbicide usage substantially while maintaining healthy turf and reducing exposure risks for people, pets, birds, and water. The device navigates lawns with a forward-facing camera and GPS to map boundaries and automatically pause or turn at edges, while bumper sensors help it reroute around obstacles. The company is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and operates with a small team. It offers two models sized for different lawns: the DT-01 suitable for up to a quarter acre and the DT-01XL for up to an acre, with setup via a mobile app and no underground boundary wires required. Products were slated to ship in spring 2023 and can be purchased through the company's website.
