- John Deere revealed several newautonomous machines during a press conference at CES 2025 to support customersin agriculture, construction, and commercial landscaping. Building on Deere’sautonomous technology first revealed at CES 2022, the company’ssecond-generation autonomy kit combines advanced computer vision, AI, andcameras to help the machines navigate their environments.While each of these industriesexperiences their own set of challenges, a commonality across all is skilledlabor availability.l Agriculture: the American Farm BureauFederation also estimates there are roughly 2.4 million farm jobs that need tobe filled annually.l Construction: Eighty-eight percent ofcontractors struggle to find skilled labor.l Commercial Landscaping: 86% of landscaping businessowners can’t find labor to fill open positions.“Our agriculture, construction,and commercial landscaping customers all have work that must get done atcertain times of the day and year, yet there is not enough available andskilled labor to do the work,” said Jahmy Hindman, Chief Technology Officer atJohn Deere. “Autonomy can help address this challenge. That’s why we’reextending our technology stack to enable more machines to operate safely andautonomously in unique and complex environments. This will not only benefit ourcustomers, but all of us who rely on them to provide the food, fuel, fiber,infrastructure, and landscaping care that we depend on every day.”Autonomy Expanding to MoreMachines:l Autonomous 9RX Tractor forLarge-Scale Agriculture: Tillage is one of the busiest times of the year for farmers. With thesecond-generation autonomy kit, featuring 16 individual cameras arranged inpods to enable a 360-degree view of the field, farmers can step away from themachine and focus their time on other important jobs. The advanced autonomy kitalso calculates depth more accurately at larger distances, allowing the tractorto pull more equipment and drive faster.l Autonomous 5ML Orchard Tractorfor Air Blast Spraying: Protecting crops through air blast spraying is a challenging andrepetitive job. Featuring the latest autonomy kit with added Lidar sensors toaddress the dense canopies found in orchards, the initial machine will beoffered with a diesel engine. A battery electric tractor of comparable size andcapacity to existing diesel 5M/ML models on the market today will follow.l 460 P-Tier AutonomousArticulated Dump Truck (ADT) for Quarry Operations: Quarries supply the essentialraw materials vital for building roads, buildings, and infrastructure, and it’sa complex process to mine, process, and transport materials. Using thesecond-generation kit, the ADT will handle the repetitive tasks of transportingmaterial around the quarry to facilitate different steps in the cycle.l Autonomous Battery ElectricMower for Commercial Landscaping: Commercial landscaping is a highly competitive industry and havingthe staff to support different bids is essential. The autonomous commercialmower leverages the same camera technology as other Deere autonomous machines,but on a reduced scale since the machine has a smaller footprint. With twocameras on the front, left, right, and rear, 360-degree coverage is achieved,and staff can focus on other aspects of the job.Select machines will beautonomy ready from the factory and the second-generation perception systemwill be available as a retrofit kit for certain existing machines, providingcustomers with multiple paths to adoption based on where they are in their technologyjourney.The machines are managed viaJohn Deere Operations Center Mobile, the company’s cloud-based platform. Byswiping left to right to start, the machine can be started once placed in theappropriate spot. Through the app, users also have access to live video,images, data and metrics, and the ability to adjust various factors like speed.In the event of any job quality anomalies or machine health issues, users willbe notified remotely so they can make necessary adjustments.Ways to Connect with John Deereat CES 2025The fully autonomous machineswill be on display from January 7-10, 2025 at John Deere’s CES booth #5016,located in West Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
