Japanese corporation Kubota, a well-known manufacturer of agricultural machinery, plans to present two new robot concepts—Type:V and Type:S—at Expo 2025, scheduled from April 13 to October 13, 2025, in Osaka, Japan. These robots are designed to address global challenges in food production and agriculture. ​

1. Type:V is a fully autonomous robot capable of adapting to various agricultural conditions. Its height and width can be adjusted based on crop spacing and specific tasks. This robot can perform multiple operations, such as soil cultivation, pest control, and harvesting. It is suitable for various crops, including rice and vegetables, and can also be utilized for non-agricultural tasks. The process is further simplified by automatic tool replacement.
2. Type:S features four wheel-legs, providing stability on uneven terrain. It can execute a variety of tasks through the use of attachments. The development of robotic arms in collaboration with partners will extend the technology's applications beyond agriculture. ​

The introduction of these concepts underscores Kubota's commitment to integrating modern technologies into agriculture to enhance productivity and sustainability.​

Additionally, at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Kubota showcased several new solutions for agriculture and construction:​

• Agri Concept 2.0: An electric tractor concept offering data, AI, automation, and electrification as a choice of powertrain, operable in both manual and autonomous modes. ​
• KATR: A multifunctional, all-terrain robot with four wheels, capable of maintaining a stable platform even on slopes and uneven terrain. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from agriculture and forestry to construction and disaster response. This robot received the "Best of Innovation" award at the CES Innovation Awards 2025 in the Industrial Equipment and Machinery category.
• Smart Robotic Pruner: A robot that utilizes AI-powered imaging analysis technology to identify buds, branches, and stems of grapevines and fruit trees, autonomously pruning them at optimal locations.
• Smart Autonomous Sprayer (KFAST): A sprayer capable of unmanned, autonomous operation. Its cameras and sensors can detect pests and apply agricultural chemicals with pinpoint accuracy, reducing chemical usage and minimizing environmental impact.

These developments demonstrate Kubota's dedication to integrating automation, artificial intelligence, and sustainability into agricultural machinery, addressing contemporary challenges in food production and agriculture.​

It is also worth noting that BAS-Agro LLC manufactures alternative spare parts for agricultural machinery and delivers them to various cities in Ukraine, such as Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa, and Dnipro.
