Autonomous snow removal machine
This invention relates to an autonomous snow removal machine for residential use. The machine is created by converting a manually operated snowblower to electric operation using motors, sensors, and a small computer. Key functions like wheel movement, chute control, and auger engagement are now powered by electric motors, while the auger rotation remains driven by the original gas engine or electric motor. Onboard sensors provide data to the control computer, enabling autonomous snow clearing within a defined area. The user interacts with the machine through a smartphone application to define the clearing zone and initiate the autonomous process. The machine can be operated manually when required by disengaging the clutch mechanism at the wheels and other electric motors.
Operation Control Method, Operation Control System, And Operation Control Program
The operation control method displays a horizontal control operation screen relating to horizontal control that controls a tilt of a work implement with respect to a machine body, for a work machine including a machine body, and a work implement attached to the machine body. The setting related to the horizontal control is performed in accordance with an operation of a user on a control operation unit included in the horizontal control operation screen.
Operation Control Method, Operation Control System, And Operation Control Program
A vehicle control device causes the work machine to execute automatic travel when an automatic travel button is operated by an operator in a state where a guidance screen relating to automatic travel of a work machine is displayed on an operation terminal, and does not cause the work machine to execute automatic travel when the automatic travel button is operated by the operator in a state where a non-guidance screen is displayed on the operation terminal.
AGRICULTURAL ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND AGRICULTURAL ASSISTANCE METHOD
An agricultural assistance system includes a controller configured or programmed to control an operation of one or more agricultural machines. In response to receiving from a terminal apparatus a signal requesting assistance in agricultural work for a field, the controller is configured or programmed to cause the one or more agricultural machines to move to the field to assist in the agricultural work for the field.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR MANAGING ACCESS OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINE TO FIELD
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.
ALIGNING A GRAIN CART TO ANOTHER VEHICLE
A system is provided for controlling a grain cart relative to a vehicle. The grain cart includes an edge extending between a front edge and a rear edge, and the vehicle includes a side edge extending between a front end and a rear end. The system comprises a ranging device and a controller. The ranging device is configured to determine a position and orientation of the side edge relative to the grain cart. The controller is configured to determine a front distance between the front edge of the grain cart and the side edge, determine a rear distance between the rear edge of the grain cart and the side edge, determine a maximum distance between the front distance and the rear distance, determine whether the maximum distance is greater than a maximum threshold, and if the controller determines that the maximum distance is greater than the maximum threshold, the controller is configured to steer the grain cart to reduce the maximum distance.
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.
Methods for managing coordinated autonomous teams of under-canopy robotic systems for an agricultural field and devices
A method, system and non-transitory computer readable medium includes obtaining an electronic map of an agricultural field. One or more assignment instructions for each of a plurality of robotic systems in an assigned team are generated to optimize execution of a selected agricultural task with respect to at least one parameter based on the obtained electronic map, a number of the robotic systems in the team, and at least one capability of each of the robotic systems in the team. The robotic systems in the team are managed based on wireless transmission of the generated assignment instructions to the robotic systems.
