"The Rostov region is included in the list of Russia's largest agricultural regions and is one of the most developed regions in terms of innovative development of the AIC. - Noted Deputy General Director of Cognitive Pilot Sergey Becker. After successful testing of our system of autonomous control equipment, Cognitive Agro Pilot on the Don in 2020 this year, we have already opened an official representation in the region and started industrial implementation of technology at the leading enterprises of the Rostov region. The capture of the edge when controlling the combine with a computer vision system is not more than 10 cm. It also allows you to prevent excessive passes, reducing the grain cost at 3-5% and reduce its loss when cleaning up to two times.
