Kubota Unveils Its New Autonomous Agricultural Robot, the KATR, Which Won the Best of Innovation Award at the CES Innovation Awards
The Kubota KATR is a small four-wheeled robotic tractor. It is equipped with a stable platform for carrying loads and a stability control system. Thanks to these innovations, it can work on rough and even sloped terrains. It is therefore ideal for agricultural and construction tasks. With a load capacity of around 130 kg, the KATR can be controlled remotely or manually via a control panel.
Another feature of the KATR is its energy flexibility. It can operate with an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, depending on users’ needs. This allows Kubota to offer a versatile and more environmentally friendly machine. A good response to the demands of farmers and construction professionals.
Winning this award at CES, the KATR exemplifies Kubota’s vision of developing equipment that is both high-performing and sustainable. According to Brett McMickell, Kubota’s Technical Director in North America, “the goal is to improve people’s lives and protect resources”. This award recognizes not only a technical innovation but also a commitment to a greener future. Mr. McMickell also added that
The KATR addresses key issues: reducing agricultural labor and increasing global food demands. By automating certain tasks and using cleaner energy, Kubota offers a tangible solution to help farmers produce more while respecting the environment.
In summary, the Kubota KATR is much more than just a robot. It represents a step forward toward modern and sustainable agriculture, where productivity and ecology go hand in hand.
