2024: ADAS System Presentation

Scientists of Kazan State Agrarian University have developed a hardware and software complex of the ADAS 4 level system for machine-tractor units. The university announced this on June 19, 2024. The cost of this unmanned system, using advanced technologies of machine vision, artificial intelligence and big data analysis, starts at 2 million rubles, depending on the functions used. The introduction of the complex will significantly increase the efficiency and profitability of crop production by reducing the cost of production.

In 70% of cases, there is a reduction in the cost of production of crop production by at least 20% due to increased productivity, reduced errors and re-sewing, - said Rais Sabirov, Candidate of Technical Sciences, employee of the Institute of Mechanization and Technical Service of Kazansky GAU.

The system machine vision provides reliable operation on all types of soils at any time of the day. Artificial intelligence processes data lidar and makes decisions on obstacle detours. In difficult weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow or fog, it is possible to move through satellite navigation to receive corrective signals through. Internet

Various precision farming systems, thrusters and active piloting systems are on the market. However, most of them, especially of domestic production, are parallel driving systems and do not have the functions of active control of machine-tractor units with the determination of obstacles. Geolocation positioning technologies, obstacle recognition, route building and autonomous management of agricultural machinery are key competitive qualities, so manufacturers are reluctant to disclose the details of their developments.

According to experts, by 2028 the global market for unmanned tractors will reach 7.5 billion. dollars The estimated need Russian agriculture is about 10,000 such hardware and software systems. Thus, the introduction of the development of the GAU Kazansky can bring gross income of 20 billion rubles.

The university plans to create a whole complex of machines combined by a single autonomous control system. The development has significant export potential and attracts the attention of leading manufacturers of agricultural machinery.

The level 4 unmanned ADAS complex from Kazan GAU represents a significant step forward towards fully autonomous agriculture. Its implementation will help farmers increase efficiency, reduce costs and ensure the stable development of industries crop production in. Russia
