1customer cited
named in a public source · no deployment on record
- John Deere· 2017agfundernews.com ↗

In Agricultural, Carbon Robotics, Vitirover and GEA Group have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Precision agriculture and autonomous spraying for row-crop farms
John Deere builds See & Spray, a camera- and machine-learning-based precision spraying system for row-crop sprayers that identifies weeds and applies herbicide only where needed. It is sold through Deere’s sprayer lineup, including See & Spray Gen 2, for commercial farm operations in North America and other markets where Deere sells sprayers.

RoboScore
52.51 RoboScore + 4.62 Momentum· Adequate evidence
Products 65%, Depth 5%, Evidence 30% set the number, and every rated company has all three. Attention has no weight of its own — it is one of the two things Evidence is built from, and it can only ever add. Activity and Readiness describe the brand but never move it. A value we don't have reads —, never zero. Momentum is independently collected news coverage, worth at most 15 points and never a deduction — a maker we have heard nothing about keeps its full RoboScore. Claiming or paying moves nothing.

A board total ranks makers within one category. It is built from the best robot's RoboScore, a capped credit for more ranked robots, and news. It is not this company's RoboIndex above. How boards work
Milestones

Why John Deere has been in the news, across 7 outlets — collected and classified independently, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes a robot's RoboScore — the evidence half of the RoboIndex — and it can move a robot up a board by at most 15 points.
Public loss record
US makers file into registers that compel reporting — device adverse events to the FDA, driverless crashes to NHTSA, workplace deaths to OSHA. A maker with no record here has genuinely not had one filed against it.
