The first artificial intelligence-powered farming vehicle from Monarch Tractor is rolling off the production line. It is the first product from the California based startup and it uses the Jetson edge artificial intelligence platform.
Monarch Tractor CEO Praveen Penmetsa said that the Jetson enabled the MK-V to run low-latency, real-time artificial intelligence applications while at the same time saving energy.

Penmetsa says it's crucial for safety since agricultural environments may not have gps signals, which is why the Jetson Xanadu NX system-on-module is important. Two 3D cameras and six standard cameras are used to take in the visual environment.
According to the two companies.
The tractor collects and analyzes crop data daily and can process data from current and next-generation implements equipped with sensors and imaging. This data can be used for real-time implement adjustments, long-term yield estimates, current growth stages and other plant and crop health metrics.
The company was founded in the same year that the Jetson Xai computer was launched by the company.
The driver of a tractor in a farming field needs to be seated. The first production model of its kind, the MK-V, with its fully electric design and driver- optional smarts, is claimed to be the first of its kind.
The wine and spirit corporation is getting the first six of the founder series of tractors.
During the Series B investment round in 2021, Monarch Tractor raised over $60 million. The companies are working together to build a car at the former GM plant.
