This paper presents an electronic machine that serves the purpose of cutting down weeds in small to medium gardens and farms. The project uses image and video processing to distinguish between the wanted and unwanted plants and a high speed motor with nylon wires to cut the unwanted plants. It works on an algorithm that finds out the colours uniquely present in a plant and then uses it to detect plants of same kind in the captured frame. Current methods used for weeding being costly, and even hazardous to plant & human health in some case, this model proves to be an effective alternative. The project has two main blocks, one which will perform the image processing and the other which is the bot on which the first block will be counted. The two blocks will be controlled by two different microprocessors.
