System for semi-automatic and/or automatic weed removal

A system for semi-automatic and/or automatic weed removal comprising:

• at least one system for automatic detection of weeds comprising at least one optical sensor and a central server unit, at least one communication network, at least one open-loop control and/or closed-loop control device and at least one weed-removal device, wherein the at least one optical sensor, the central server unit and the at least one open-loop control and/or closed-loop control device are in data connection via the at least one communication network, wherein image data of at least one weed is generated via the at least one optical sensor and transmitted via the at least one communication network to the central server unit, which analyses the transmitted image data such that the at least one weed can be determined, and wherein via the central server unit, in the case of a clear determination of the at least one weed, weed confirmation data is transmitted via the at least one communication network to the at least one open-loop control and/or closed-loop control device, which, in response to the weed confirmation data, controls and/or regulates the at least one weed-removal device so that the at least one weed detected by the at least one optical sensor can be removed, wherein the central server unit comprises a data analysis module and a plant disease database unit, by which it can be determined on the basis of the transmitted image data of the at least one weed, whether and which diseases of the at least one weed are present, such that the system can automatically decide for the at least one weed whether removing the at least one weed by the at least one weed-removal device is still necessary or whether removing the at least one weed is unnecessary, the removal of the at least one weed by the at least one weed-removal device being unnecessary responsive to determining the at least one weed is going to die from natural weakening due to disease of the at least one weed, and wherein, responsive to determining the at least one weed is healthy, removing the at least one weed that is healthy by the at least one weed-removal device.
