Carbon Robotics launches autonomy program with Great Plains as first partner


Carbon Robotics, a developer of bodily AI for agriculture, has introduced the launch of its Carbon Autonomy Prepared program.

Great Plains Manufacturing, a producer of seeding and soil administration tools, joins this system as the primary member.

Designed to assist a variety of implements that farmers use right now, the Carbon Autonomy Prepared program establishes a technical specification and course of for integrating any producers’ implements straight into the Carbon Autonomy platform.

Nice Plains’ capabilities, that includes their Implement Command system, supplies an elevated beginning block for the partnership to yield optimistic outcomes for farmers.

Tractors working Carbon Autonomy will join real-time information from Nice Plains’ tools and allow autonomous changes on the fly.


The built-in answer delivers automated studying and adjusting of extra implement settings, together with depth, down stress, and leveling, the identical method an operator would in the event that they have been bodily working the tractor.

Paul Mikesell, founder and CEO, Carbon Robotics, says: “We consider the Carbon Autonomy platform can remodel the ways in which trendy farmers work their fields, and Nice Plains is the proper first associate to launch this program.

“Our perception is that autonomous farming implements will assist farmers be extra environment friendly and decrease prices by extending working hours, fixing expert operator shortages, and growing tractor utilization.”

As farmers use autonomous tractors for extra area operations, from floor preparation to laser weeding, the Carbon Autonomy Prepared program is designed to work with any implement producer so farmers can select the tools that works greatest for his or her operation with out compromising autonomy.

Doug Jennings, Sr., product supervisor at Nice Plains, says: “At Nice Plains, we see producers regularly fine-tuning their operations to seize small, incremental features in yield and effectivity. Actual-time changes shall be crucial to maximizing these efforts.

“We stay up for increasing sensing, communication, and management channels by this settlement with Carbon Robotics to supply producers with probably the most environment friendly, well timed area changes doable.”

The combination between Carbon Autonomy and Nice Plains shall be showcased on the 2026 Farm Progress Present with a Nice Plains HT1100 Terra-Max outfitted with built-in sensors and a Carbon implement package each on show.
