Autonomy
Bringing innovation and control to your fingertips.
License our best-in-class Autonomy Stack
Empowering OEM partners to evolve into full-solution providers for growers
Combining our in-field grower solutions and autonomy stack, our unified UI empowers OEM partners to deliver a complete autonomous farm solution to growers.
Patented technology that navigates the world intuitively, like a human. Our solution uses on-board AI and feature-based navigation, eliminating the need for connectivity during a mission.
Instead of relying solely on GPS, Perceptive Navigation™ leverages advanced AI and on-board sensors to sense and interact with the environment, much like a skilled human operator. This groundbreaking approach eliminates the need for continuous GPS signal and empowers vehicles to operate autonomously with precision and adaptability.
How we excel over our competitors:
- No GPS or RTK infrastructure
- No surveys
- No fixed waypoints
- No internet connection
- No pre-routing
Implement Control: Perceptive Navigation™ will revolutionize traditional and smart implements, eliminating the need for GPS, and simplifying integration with mission planning and fleet management. Our Perceptive Implement API will provide needed adaptability, allowing smart implements to issue vehicle navigation commands.
