Abstract: In one aspect, a system for an agricultural application includes an implement including a frame. The frame includes a center frame section and at least one movable frame section. A first imaging device is installed on the movable frame section. A second imaging device is installed inboard of the movable frame section relative to the center frame section in the unfolded position. A computing system is communicatively coupled to the first imaging device and the second imaging device. When the implement is in the unfolded position, the computing system receives image data associated with an imaged environment outward of the implement from the first imaging device. When the implement is in the folded position, the computing system receives image data associated with an imaged environment outward of the implement from the second imaging device.

Abstract: The unmanned sprayer apparatus according to the present invention includes a vehicle body of the unmanned sprayer apparatus that moves automatically in a greenhouse including a first rail and a second rail installed on flat land, and a controller configured to control the vehicle body to be switched and moved between the first rail and the second rail while the vehicle body travels on the flat land. The controller is configured to travel the vehicle body rearward on the first rail and when a front end of the first rail is detected, stop the vehicle body, to move the vehicle body laterally toward the second rail and when a front end of the second rail is detected, stop the vehicle body, and to align the vehicle body in a direction of the second rail and then dock the vehicle body to the second rail.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for autonomously navigating a vehicle along furrows in a field. Also disclosed herein are systems and methods for autonomously turning a vehicle at the end of a furrow within a designated turnaround area to begin navigating along a second furrow. Turns may be determined in real time using sensors to determine target positions, and the turns may be dynamically updated while being executed. These systems and methods may be used for automated crop management, such as autonomous weeding, planting, spraying, or harvesting.

Abstract: One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

Abstract: A path planning system includes a path planning algorithm operable to receive a desired harvest width for each pass of a harvester implement, and a boundary of a harvest area to be harvested. The path planning algorithm determine a surface elevation of the harvest area within the boundary, which includes at least one elevation contour establishing a line of constant elevation. The path planning algorithm then defines a harvest path for the harvester implement to follow while harvesting the crop material. The harvest path is defined to substantially parallel the at least one elevation contour, and is incremented in elevation in a parallel manner based on the desired harvest width.

Abstract: A farm field setting processing unit sets an inner peripheral work region and an outer peripheral work region in a farm field having a shape where a right side and a left side that face each other are not parallel to each other. A work-direction setting processing unit sets a work direction for a work vehicle within the inner peripheral work region. A path setting processing unit sets, within the inner peripheral work region, a travel path as a work initiating path at a location adjacent to the right side that is parallel to said work direction, from among a plurality of sides that define the inner peripheral work region. On the basis of the work direction and the travel path, a path generation processing unit generates a travel path for the work vehicle within the inner peripheral work region.

Abstract: A method and a system for deployment planning and coordinating a vehicle fleet comprising a plurality of agricultural work vehicles is disclosed. Different agricultural work processes may be performed on a field with the work vehicles having a work unit for performing at least one of the agricultural work processes. At least one work vehicle of the vehicle fleet is operated autonomously. Further, the database-driven management system may generate the deployment plan. For example, while planning a particular agricultural work process comprising a sequence of work steps, the work vehicles in the vehicle fleet are coordinated with one another by assigning at least one autonomous work vehicle to a respective work step of the agricultural work process with operational parameters being transmitted to the autonomous work vehicle in order to perform the assigned respective work step.

Abstract: An agricultural machine includes a swath information acquiring module, a first determining module to determine a traveling path of an automatic operation based on a position of a swath, a setting module to set a work continuation width based on the traveling path, a second determining module to determine, when there is a manual operation by a worker during the automatic operation, whether the agricultural machine during the manual operation is within the work continuation width, and an executing module to execute the automatic operation. The executing module restores the agricultural machine to the traveling path after a termination of the manual operation and continues the automatic operation when the agricultural machine is within the work continuation width, and cancels the automatic operation when the agricultural machine is determined to be not within the work continuation width.

Abstract: A control portion includes a vehicle-position acquiring portion, a field-contour setting portion, a region setting portion, and a start-position setting portion. The vehicle-position acquiring portion acquires position information indicating a position of a combine harvester. The field-contour setting portion sets a contour of a field on the basis of a plurality of pieces of the position information. The region setting portion sets an unworked region inside the contour on the basis of the plurality of pieces of the position information. The start-position setting portion sets a corner closest to a position of the combine harvester among a plurality of corners of the unworked region to an automated-travel start position on the basis of the position information.
