What are the main growth/adoption barriers for farming robots?
The farmers and operators themselves, because they don’t know how to deal with robots yet. Educating farmers and operators is essential to guarantee the success and endurance of robots and autonomous vehicles in farming. Most of all, it shouldn’t be an additional ‘problem’ to the farmer’s daily operation and we have to teach him to deal with situations like unplanned stops and especially the restart after such a stop. We try to accelerate and simplify adoption by making our robots work with current day implements to make them not that ‘scary’ to farmers and operators as many other robots.

What will be the next innovation in autonomous vehicles?
I believe that will be sensor fusion. Currently, we use RTK-
