In a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing the agriculture industry, Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and Sabanto have teamed up to integrate advanced positioning systems into Sabanto's autonomy solutions. This collaboration promises to enhance the performance of autonomous tractors, providing farmers with greater precision, productivity, and reliability in their operations.

Central to this partnership is the incorporation of Trimble's BX992 Dual Antenna GNSS receivers and Trimble CenterPoint RTX corrections service into Sabanto's autonomy solutions. These technologies are set to become integral components of Sabanto's autonomous tractor systems, offering farmers unprecedented levels of accuracy and reliability.

Farmers rely on uninterrupted service to ensure the efficiency of their operations. By utilizing Trimble's BX992 GNSS receiver in tandem with the satellite-delivered Trimble CenterPoint RTX corrections service, Sabanto's autonomy solutions will have access to centimeter-level L-Band corrections virtually anywhere in the world. This precision in positioning empowers farmers to achieve higher levels of productivity, reduce downtime, and minimize input costs, all while addressing labor shortages through the use of autonomous vehicles.

Trimble's Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability
Trimble's investment in Sabanto's autonomous workflows for farming applications began in 2022 through Trimble Ventures. This partnership underscores Trimble's commitment to supporting early and growth-stage companies that drive innovation, digital transformation, and sustainability in the industries they serve. Finlay Wood, general manager of off-road autonomy at Trimble, expressed the significance of this collaboration, stating, "It's exciting to witness how Trimble's technology and our Trimble Ventures relationship can accelerate the adoption of autonomy in the agriculture industry, as evidenced by this next phase of our collaboration with Sabanto."

Seamless Correction Stream-Switching for Optimal Performance
In addition to providing RTX corrections, Trimble will offer a correction stream-switching feature. This innovation allows farmers to seamlessly switch from IP to satellite corrections, ensuring they receive the best signal quality in any environment. This flexibility is crucial for customers in agriculture, municipalities, and remote areas such as airports, where reliable cellular service may be lacking.

Craig Rupp, founder and CEO of Sabanto, emphasized the importance of this partnership in delivering continuous connectivity to farmers, regardless of their operating environment. He stated, "It's exciting to see our two businesses find synergies that will improve ag autonomy, delivering a better experience for our farmers through continuous connectivity, regardless of the environment."

Exposure to soft robots decreases human fears about working with them
Vancouver WA (SPX) Dec 07, 2023
Seeing robots made with soft, flexible parts in action appears to lower people's anxiety about working with them or even being replaced by them. A Washington State University study found that watching videos of a soft robot working with a person at picking and placing tasks lowered the viewers' safety concerns and feelings of job insecurity. This was true even when the soft robot was shown working in close proximity to the person. This finding shows soft robots hold a potential psychological advan ... read more
