20240188476 · 2024-06-13 ·

A management system manages access of agricultural machines to a field, and includes a processor configured or programmed to, while a first agricultural machine is performing an agricultural task in the field and if a conflict of agricultural tasks for the field exists between the first agricultural machine and a second agricultural machine, allow at least one of the first agricultural machine and the second agricultural machine determined based on priority data to perform the agricultural task for the field.

Route Creation Method, Work Vehicle, And Autonomous Travel System

In a combine harvester, a terminal-side control device of a portable terminal functions as a route creation unit and a route determination unit. The route creation unit creates an autonomous travel route including a plurality of work routes for performing work in an unworked region of the field and a turning route connecting the two work routes. The route determination unit determines whether the position of the combine harvester during traveling of the combine harvester on the turning route and the position of the field outline satisfy a predetermined positional relationship with regard to the autonomous travel route, confirms the autonomous travel route when it is determined that the predetermined positional relationship is satisfied, and recreates the autonomous travel route to satisfy the predetermined positional relationship when it is determined that the predetermined positional relationship is not satisfied.

AUTONOMOUS DRIVER SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR SAME

An autonomous driver system for an agricultural vehicle assembly includes a sensor interface configured for coupling with one or more of vehicle sensors or implement sensors and a function interface configured for coupling with one or more of vehicle actuators or implement actuators. An autonomous driving controller is in communication with the sensor and function interfaces. The autonomous driving controller is configured to autonomously implement a planned agricultural operation with the agricultural vehicle and the agricultural implement. The controller is configured to identify and remedy one or more operation disturbances outside of the planned agricultural operation including identifying the one or more operation disturbances with one or more of the vehicle or implement sensors and selecting one or more remedial actions for the one or more operation disturbances. The controller is configured to implement the one or more remedial actions with one or more of the vehicle or implement actuators.

Work vehicle

A mowing vehicle provided with a traveling machine and a mowing device includes a first image-capturing device and a controlling unit configured to control the traveling machine to travel autonomously along a boundary line of grass before and after mowing formed by the mowing device. The controlling unit includes a boundary-detecting unit configured to detect the boundary line and a traveling-controlling unit configured to control traveling directions of the traveling machine. The boundary-detecting unit is configured to generate intensity distribution information regarding texture information in a predetermined direction by filtering with a Gabor filter on a captured image. The boundary-detecting unit is configured to carry out statistical processing on the intensity distribution information per inspection area divided in plural in a vertical direction so as to detect boundary points and to detect the boundary line from the boundary points per the inspection area.

Breeding robot and method
