Automation may soon be a
part of Nebraska farmers
plans if the robot tractor be
ing developed by Prof. J. D.
Pichon of the University's de
partment of Ag Engineering
lives up to expectations.
The machine has been used
on a trial basis since 1960,
says Pichon, and uses the
magnetic field properties of
a buried electrical wire to
guide and control itself.
The same system could be

used for high speed travel on
highways, such as the Inter
state system, by burying a
guidence wire in the pave
ment and using an automo
bile auto-pilot.
Pichon said the Radio Cor
poration of American had de
veloped such a system, and
tested it south of Lincoln on
U.S. 77, in 1960 where the
wire is still buried. At the
time Nebraska was the only
state which had shown inter
est in such a method of traf
fic guidance.
The buried wire is the most
fool-proof way of controling
the machine, according to
Pichon, who said that either
radio control nor coded punch
card control is compatiable
with economical farm opera
tions. The research, which Pichon
is earning out as part of the
Nebraska Experiment station
program, has as its main goal
the development of smaller
machines for the farmer's
field; machines which will
run unattended day or night,
freeing the farmer for recrea
