We caught up with Monarch CEO Praveen Penmetsa at FIRA USA in Woodland, Calif., for a conversation about the new MonarchOne platform and the company’s unique approach to autonomy.

Monarch describes the MonarchOne platform as an end-to-end, full-stack, AI-driven platform integrating autonomy, assisted driving, energy management and data intelligence.

“MonarchOne is about democratizing AI for the hard-working industries that keep the world functioning; those known for dull, dirty and dangerous tasks,” Penmetsa says. “These industries are facing similar challenges on a global scale and access to AI and autonomy offers solutions. For the first time, OEMs can accelerate their development and unlock scalable autonomy through applications like Autodrive and Row Follow, intelligence and energy efficiency across every class of off-highway vehicles and equipment.”
