Abstract: A method for setting and/or calibrating a mobile motorized agricultural machine, hereinafter referred to as an agricultural robot, which is equipped with a tool and is capable of autonomously working a plot, includes: at the beginning of the working phase on a new plot, and following a request by an operator or the validation of a request by an operator, in temporarily operating the robot in a semi-autonomous mode during which an operating parameter of the robot and/or of the tool is managed and adjusted by the operator, by the robot or by the tool, or by a combination of the three, in order for the robot to be set or calibrated for the subsequent autonomous working phase, upon validation by the operator.

Abstract: A method for working a plot of land simultaneously by agricultural robots in accordance with instructions and/or commands transmitted by a common central management and control system, the method including: subdividing the plot of land to be worked into distinct work zones as strips having respective ends at the two opposite extremities thereof, and into a turn zone extending along the various opposite ends of the trips; subdividing each turn zone into turn portions, each of which faces and continues from one of the two ends of one of the strips forming work zones; and assigning a fraction of a turn portion to the robot that either is about to pass or is in the process of passing through the designated turn portion, or is going to start, is in the process of completing or going to complete work in the work zone associated with the designated turn portion.

Abstract: A method for controlled seeding of a parcel of agricultural land by a seeding vehicle having a plurality of individual seeding members each producing a seeding line and being able to interrupt at least one seeding line so as to mark out the parcel, including: providing, in advance, a virtual plan of the parcel with the current portions of the arrangements of seeding lines to be realized; inferring therefrom the trajectories of the seeding vehicle; and controlling the latter to carry out controlled seeding with marking out for these current portions and for the particular trajectories at least during cornering, during U-turns or between the current portions, depending on the trajectories of the rolling members of the vehicle(s) or trailer(s) carrying out the subsequent operation(s) on these current portions.

Abstract: An agricultural facility arranged in a plot of farmland includes: a supply and/or maintenance station; an autonomous agricultural device performing an agricultural task in the plot of farmland; a control unit for moving the autonomous agricultural device and the station, which unit is configured to control movement of the autonomous agricultural device within the plot of farmland including a work area in which an agricultural task is performed by the autonomous agricultural device and an area to be worked in which an agricultural task is to be performed by the autonomous agricultural device. The control unit is configured to control movement of the station from the work area to the area to be worked if the autonomous agricultural device moves to perform an agricultural task in the area to be worked, movement of the station being independent from movement of the autonomous agricultural device.

Abstract: A method for working a plot of land simultaneously by at least two agricultural robots operating autonomously and independently, in accordance with instructions and/or commands transmitted by a common central management and control system, includes subdividing said plot of land to be treated into at least two distinct work zones and allocating each work zone exclusively to one of the agricultural robots. At least during the working phase, the width of the majority of the work zones is equal to a multiple, greater than or equal to 1, of the working width of the agricultural robot to which it is exclusively allocated. During work on a plot of land, work zones not yet worked are exclusively allocated to various agricultural robots, respectively, in a gradual manner according to the completion of the work undertaken by the agricultural robots in the various zones allocated to them.
