autonomous farming

The California startup is also facing a lawsuit from a dealer alleging its tractors could not operate autonomously, a claim the company disputes.

Over four years, the project will field-test six robotic systems across Europe, integrating augmented and extended reality technologies to enhance farming operations. The project seeks to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability in agriculture, making the sector more attractive to younger workers.

New technology enables farmers to operate multiple tractors autonomously, helping to mitigate the labor crisis and sustain farming operations.

New advancements aim to optimize land use, reduce chemical usage, and adapt farming practices to changing climates, potentially transforming agricultural productivity and environmental impact.

The retrofit kits, designed for various John Deere models, include re-engineered cameras and rugged GPUs that leverage machine learning algorithms to perform tasks without human intervention.

Investment to support the development of safety software for fully autonomous agricultural operations.
