🚜 Kubota has developed three types of autonomous vehicles for rice farming in Japan, which are connected to a GPS system for precise control.
🌾 The vehicles use a combination of technologies such as sonar scanners and sensors to detect and avoid obstacles while performing tasks in the field.
🌱 The autonomous planting system optimizes the planting process, ensuring perfectly aligned rows and efficient use of resources.
🚜 Kubota has developed an autonomous rice harvester that can perform all its functions without human intervention.
🔄 The harvester is programmed to automatically lower its pick-up at the front, start the cutting and threshing system, and empty its hopper when full.
⚙️ The machine is equipped with tracks to minimize soil compaction and optimize efficiency in rice cultivation.
