A system is provided for controlling a grain cart relative to a grain truck. The grain truck 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 path line parallel to the side edge, wherein the path line is a predetermined distance from the side edge, identify a goal point based on the path line, where the goal point a second predetermined distance from the front or rear end of the side edge, and plan a path for the grain cart to the goal point.

A system is provided for controlling a grain cart relative to a grain truck. The grain cart includes a grain tank and an unload auger configured to transfer crop material out of the grain tank. The grain truck includes a truck box extending from a first end to a second end. The truck box includes a top edge extending around the top of the truck box. The system comprises a ranging device and a controller. The ranging device is configured to identify a distance to the top edge of the truck box and identify a distance to an area in the truck box. The controller is configured to determine a position of the grain cart relative to the grain truck, and determine whether the grain cart is positioned near the first end of the truck box. If the controller determines that the grain cart is positioned near the first end of the truck box, the controller is configured to determine a fill level in the area based on the distance to the top edge of the truck box and the distance to the area in the truck box, determine whether the fill level exceeds a threshold, and if the controller determines that the fill level does not exceed the threshold, the controller is configured to start the unload auger.

A controller for an agricultural harvester in a fleet of agricultural harvesters is configured to receive crop flow sensor output data from a plurality of on-board harvester sensors, and determine a current value of each of one or more harvesting performance parameters depending on the received crop flow sensor output data. The controller is configured to receive fleet data indicative of one or more operational parameters of at least one further agricultural harvester in the fleet. The controller is configured to determine a ground speed for the agricultural harvester depending on the current value of the one or more harvesting performance parameters relative to respective target values and the received fleet data. The controller is configured to generate an output signal in dependence on the determined ground speed.

The automatic traveling system includes a generation processing unit, an acquisition processing unit, and a correction processing unit. The generation processing unit generates a target route along which the work vehicle is caused to travel automatically. The acquisition processing unit acquires a correction position of the target route. The correction processing unit corrects the target route based on the correction position.

An automatic implement attachment and detachment system having a ground utility robot a sensor, a computer processor, an artificial intelligence processing unit for learning, and a computer memory where the system also includes a quick hitch attachment apparatus having a body securable to the ground utility robot, at least one mateable connection part, and an implement having a connection member where the implement attachment system is configured to automatically attach and detach the implement to and from the ground utility robot.

An agricultural work assistance system includes an input to input agricultural field information about a contour of an agricultural field, dimension information of an agricultural machine or a working device coupled to the agricultural machine, and a work condition about agricultural work on the agricultural field by the agricultural machine and the working device, a route creator to create a traveling route along which the agricultural machine travels within a map of the agricultural field based on the agricultural field information, the dimension information, and the work condition and to secure a turning space where the agricultural machine turns, a turning margin calculator to calculate a turning margin, i.e., a size of the turning space, and determine that the turning margin is insufficient when the turning margin is less than a threshold, and a notifier to provide notification of a place where the insufficient turning margin determined by the turning margin calculator exists.

A system including an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) designed as a common platform to which is affixed one or more articulated arms, which, when combined with attached implements and software for performing movement of the AGV and the arm(s), carries out tasks common to small farms and maintaining small parcels of land. The software enables a farm operator to set up, control, and monitor operations of the robotic system.

A path planning system for an agricultural machine performing self-driving includes a storage to store a map including fields and a road around the fields, and a processor to generate a path for the agricultural machine on the map. The processor is configured or programmed to generate a first path along which the agricultural machine is to travel while performing agricultural work in any of the fields, the first path being generated on the corresponding field on the map, and generate a second path along which the agricultural machine is to travel toward the field, the second path being generated on the road on the map.

The automatic traveling method includes: causing a sprayer 1 to travel automatically along a target route in a field; executing temporary stop processing; and executing stop reservation processing. The temporary stop processing is processing to stop the sprayer at a current position in a mode in which travel of the sprayer can be resumed in the case where a temporary stop condition is satisfied during automatic travel of the sprayer. The stop reservation processing is processing to cause the sprayer to travel and thereafter stop the sprayer in a state where the travel of the sprayer can be resumed in the case where a stop reservation condition is satisfied during the automatic travel of the sprayer.

A tilt rotor-based linear multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) structure for crop protection and a control method thereof are provided. The tilt rotor-based linear multi-rotor UAV structure for crop protection includes main lift power structures, tilt power structures, and a main frame structure, where the main frame structure is located in a middle; the main lift power structures are distributed at left and right ends of the main frame structure; and the tilt power structures are symmetrically distributed between the main frame structure and the main lift power structures. A vector power structure is adopted to ensure flexible attitude changes and smoother and more accurate UAV operations, and improve the operation efficiency. Meanwhile, the tilt rotor-based linear multi-rotor UAV structure is adapted to the complex working environment in China's ever-changing terrains.
