An automated work system includes a control apparatus capable of controlling an automated work machine that performs work in a work area. The automated work system comprises a generation unit configured to generate a schedule for the work. The generation unit generates the schedule based on a scheduled work time during which a user arrives at the work area and performs work in the work area or a time slot during which the user is not in the work area.

An intelligent pesticide spraying robot self-adaptive to terrain of mountain land is provided. Walking mechanisms are respectively connected to both side ends of a chassis. A pesticide spraying mechanism includes rotary drive mechanisms respectively connected to both sides of the rear end of the chassis, telescopic spray boom mechanisms correspondingly connected to the rotary drive mechanisms, rotary nozzle mechanisms correspondingly connected to the telescopic spray boom mechanisms, a liquid pesticide storage box fixed to the top of the chassis, a first water pump fixed in the liquid pesticide storage box, and first water pipes in communication with the first water pump and the rotary nozzle mechanisms. A control chip of a control identification mechanism is communicatively connected to the walking mechanisms, the rotary drive mechanisms, the telescopic spray boom mechanisms, the rotary nozzle mechanisms, the first water pump, a front-end camera, side-end cameras and ultrasonic sensors respectively.

A system for implementing a trial in one or more fields is provided. In an embodiment, a agricultural intelligence computing system receives field data for a plurality of agricultural fields. Based, at least in part, on the field data for the plurality of agricultural fields, the agricultural intelligence computing system identifies one or more target agricultural fields. The agricultural intelligence computing system sends, to a field manager computing device associated with the one or more target agricultural fields, a trial participation request. The server receives data indicating acceptance of the trial participation request from the field manager computing device. The server determines one or more locations on the one or more target agricultural fields for implementing a trial and sends data identifying the one or more locations to the field manager computing device. When the agricultural intelligence computing system receives application data for the one or more target agricultural fields, the agricultural intelligence computing system determines whether the one or more target agricultural fields are in compliance with the trial. The agricultural intelligence computing system then receives result data for the trial and, based on the result data, computes a benefit value for the trial.

The present disclosure includes a travel operation unit that is configured to be manually operated and includes a mode operation tool for switching between automatic driving and manual driving, a manual travel control unit that includes a manual travel mode in which manual driving is performed based an operation signal received from the travel operation unit, and an automatic travel control unit that includes an automatic travel mode in which automatic driving is performed, a temporary stop mode in which a vehicle body is temporarily stopped during automatic driving for transitioning from the automatic travel mode to the manual travel mode, and a check mode in which whether a state of the travel operation unit satisfies a manual driving transition condition required for starting manual driving is checked in transition from the temporary stop mode to the manual travel mode.
