MOLINE,
Ill., Nov. 16, 2022 /CNW/ -- John Deere
(NYSE: DE) has been named a CES® 2023 Innovation Awards
Best of Innovation honoree in the Robotics category, and an honoree
in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category for its fully
autonomous tractor. This is the fourth consecutive year John Deere
has received an Innovation Award from the Consumer Technology
Association (CTA). The announcement was made ahead of CES 2023, the
world's most influential technology event, during which John Deere
will deliver a keynote. CES 2023 takes place January 5-8 in Las
Vegas, NV and digitally.
John Deere's fully autonomous tractor integrates technology such
as cameras, artificial intelligence (AI), sensors, and ultra-fast
GPU processors to navigate through a field without an operator in
the cab – helping customers be more efficient, productive, and
profitable.
"Farmers never have a shortage of work to do on any given day,"
said Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer for John Deere. "With
our fully autonomous tractor, farmers have the flexibility to focus
on the most pressing tasks within their operation while the machine
handles what they don't have time or labor to do. We continue to
invest in autonomy and automation to support the important work our
customers do every day."
The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the
CTA, is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and
engineering in 28 product categories. Judges reviewed submissions
based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic, and
design.
The Robotics category of the Innovation Awards highlights
programmable or otherwise intelligent machines capable of
performing specific tasks or replicating human movement or
interactions. The Vehicle Intelligence & Advanced Mobility
category highlights automotive and other transportation products
and services that integrate technology into the driving or riding
experience, whether by enhancing safety, navigation, improving the
passenger experience, or enabling self-driving functionality.
