The winning robot tractor entry from the University of Regina is on display at the Canada Farm Progress Show.

The entry won the 50-thousand dollar top prize in an Illinois contest to develop a robot tractor to seed a field.

One of the developers, Caleb Friedrick, says a map of a farmers’ field was put on a computer.

Friedrick says the winning prize money will be shared among the four University of Regina students.

He says developing a detailed map is one of the key issues for using a robot controlled seeding tractor.

The robot tractor is in the Canada Centre at the west edge of Evraz Place.
