Daedong Concept Tractor Wins 'iF Design Award'

Presenting the Paradigm of a 'Multifunctional AI Precision Agriculture Robot'

Daedong announced on the 7th that its concept tractor 'D-ACT,' which can be used simultaneously as an ultra-compact mobility device and an agricultural robot, won the main prize at the iF Design Award.

The iF Design Award, hosted by the German International Forum Design, is considered one of the world's top three design competitions alongside Germany's Red Dot Design Award and the United States' IDEA Design Award. Daedong received the main prize in both the Professional Concept category and the Product Concept category at this competition.

'D-ACT' is a multifunctional artificial intelligence (AI) precision work robot consisting of an ultra-compact autonomous mobility unit as the driver's seat and an unmanned precision agriculture tractor as the main body. When the driver's seat and main body are combined, the operator can manually perform farming tasks, and when the driver's seat is detached, it can be used as an ultra-compact autonomous mobility device, allowing the driver to move comfortably. The main body operates in unmanned precision agriculture tractor mode, recognizing the agricultural environment and autonomously making decisions to perform tasks without human intervention, serving as an AI precision agriculture robot.

Gam Byung-woo, Head of Product Planning Division at Daedong, said, "D-ACT is a symbolic model that intuitively conveys Daedong's transition process into an AI precision agriculture robot and autonomous mobility service company." He added, "Winning the iF Design Award 2024 will serve as an opportunity to reaffirm Daedong's vision and direction for future business both internally and externally."
