A pilot robotic tractor station (RTS) is being created in the Amur Region using autonomous tractors equipped with artificial intelligence technologies. An agreement on the project implementation has been signed by the Governor of the Amur Region, the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation, and the Tomsk-based company Cognitive Pilot. Investments in the project will amount to 1 billion rubles.
In the first phase, 70–80 robots will be able to autonomously cultivate up to 15,000 hectares of fields, ensuring a productivity increase of up to 30%, high operational accuracy (99%), and savings on seeds, fertilizers, and fuel. One robot can replace the labor of four people. The project includes equipment maintenance, consulting, and training for agricultural enterprises.
The RTS will provide services to farmers on a service model basis: enterprises will be able to use advanced technologies without having to purchase expensive equipment. In the future, the project is planned to be scaled up to most agricultural enterprises in the Amur Region.
Additionally, the Far Eastern State Agrarian University is establishing a Scientific and Production Center for Unmanned Aviation Systems, which will serve as a platform for interaction between developers, operators, teachers, and students. The center will enable the implementation of unmanned solutions in agriculture and other sectors of the economy, as well as the development and launch of pilot scenarios for the application of technologies.
The project aims to improve the efficiency of the region's agro-industrial complex, address the shortage of personnel, and implement world-class Russian high-tech developments.
