Same I can’t find any details on the mechanical mechanism they remove the weeds with. That seems like as much if not bigger challenge than identifying the weeds.

I don't think the mechanical mechanism is that hard.

Once they detect a weed ahead, they could just lower a small plough-like thing in worst case scenario. Or a pinch could go down, grab the weed and go up.

But yes, they seem be secretive about the working.
