Carbon Robotics

Introducing Carbon AutoTractor! Today Carbon Robotics introduces the first and only tractor autonomy solution with real-time remote supervision and control. Powered by Carbon AI, Carbon AutoTractor is installed on existing tractors and is remotely monitored by Carbon Robotics operators, who handle interventions in real time to ensure seamless operation. Carbon AutoTractor delivers reliable, uninterrupted autonomous tractor operation–helping farmers increase productivity, reduce labor dependency, and scale operations. Developed with direct feedback from farmers, Carbon AutoTractor addresses the key barriers that have prevented the widespread adoption of tractor autonomy: frequent stoppages requiring farmer intervention, complex supervision and management, and unreliable solutions not built for 24/7 production operations. "Too often, autonomy in agriculture has been overpromised and underdelivered,” said Paul Mikesell, CEO and founder of Carbon Robotics. “We built Carbon AutoTractor to change that—by working closely with farmers every step of the way to design a solution rooted in simplicity, reliability, and the realities of modern farm operations. This is autonomy shaped by real-world experience, not just another tech experiment." Explore Carbon AutoTractor: https://lnkd.in/ghaU7q7

Farmers invest countless repetitive hours plowing, tilling, discing, and cultivating their fields—hours that cost time and money. Tractor autonomy from Carbon AutoTractor offers unmatched efficiency, extended working hours, and a solution to operator shortages. With dependable autonomous operation and continuous oversight from our expertly trained remote supervisors, your tractors stay productive, precise, and profitable.

Farmers told us they have a hard time finding operators for night shifts, so we built Carbon AutoTractor for dependable autonomous operation 24/7. This solves labor shortages and operator availability issues for farmers, and increases tractor fleet utilization and equipment ROI.

No driver. No stoppages. Day and night. Carbon AutoTractor autonomously handles field entry, end-of-row turnarounds, and in-field tasks.
