Autonomous Tractor Kit is Carbon Robotics' Carbon Autonomy system. It installs on Deere 6R, 8R, 8RX, and 8RT tractors from 2019 onward without permanent modifications, using cameras, lidar, radar, and autonomy software.
It is intended for commercial farms that want to run tractors for ground preparation, including tilling, discing, and ripping, with remote supervision and manual override.
