Welcome to the forums! 
The use case would be for agriculture, actually. Depending on how broad the definition of materials processing is - it may fit that grouping.

If it's an automated weed killing drone that can roam the backyard like an outdoor roomba and zap dandilions sign me up!

I had a broad weed problem at my house when I lived in Vancouver, WA. Took poisoning them to finally get rid of all of them. Don't see a laser even doing that...but your post was hilarious!

Peice o' cake Paul. Rugedized outdoor roomba robot+camera+image recognition software trained on the * pattern of a dandilion+125W laser array=dead dandilions. And lots of lawn fires, and lawsuits. Not saying there wouldn't be.....challenges. But I can dream!

Yeah, I would have done anything to get rid of the broad leaf weeds I had. Used a poison specifically made for killing them at the root level. Even though it was recommended that it be diluted, it took full strength to remove them all.
