Title:  Tiny Weed-Killing Robots Could Make Pesticides Obsolete
Nitpick1:  I thought pesticides were for insects and herbicides were for weeds?Nitpick2:  Tiny is relative.I'll try to stop at 2.  ;-)
Thx for the article and don't take my nitpicks too seriously.

 Interesting. I looked at using a soldering iron to heat the weed's roots. Handheld root heaters are available. I didn't know that electricity was sufficient to kill weeds. That's a lot easier and much faster.
Neat.
Maybe a use for AI to identify leaves.
