MULTI-OPERATIONAL LAND DRONE
A multi-operational land drone includes a vehicle body, one or more batteries, one or more sensors, and a removeable dashboard. The one or more batteries are disposed on a lower portion of the vehicle body. The one or more sensors are disposed on the vehicle body.
CONTROL DEVICE OF WORKING VEHICLE
Provided is a control device of a working vehicle including a prime mover and a driving mechanism that drives an implement based on power of the prime mover, wherein the control device is configured to obtain a steering angle of the working vehicle, and detect switching between tasks performed by the working vehicle in a farm field, when the steering angle is equal to or greater than a predetermined angle indicating the switching between tasks.
Automatic crab steering on side hills
Steering a vehicle in an electronic steering mode of operation that includes a front axle steering system, a rear axle steering system, one or more vehicle environment sensors, and a controller operatively coupled with the front axle steering system, the rear axle steering system, and the vehicle environment sensors. Commanding the vehicle to operate at a desired vehicle speed, detecting a lateral force acting on the vehicle in response to input from the vehicle environment sensors, and determining an actual lateral acceleration of the vehicle and a predicted lateral acceleration of the vehicle from the desired vehicle speed. Determining a lateral acceleration error by comparing the predicted lateral acceleration to the actual lateral acceleration, and determining if the lateral acceleration error exceeds a lateral acceleration limit, then turning both of the front axle steering system and the rear axle steering system to a crab steering correction angle.
Work vehicle
This work vehicle (tractor), which is provided with an engine and an accelerator pedal capable of changing the operational state of the engine, and is configured to be free to travel by means of an operation of the accelerator pedal by an operator, is equipped with a display near an operator's seat, said display being configured to be capable of displaying a screen (travel customization screen) for selecting whether or not to allow travel in conjunction with the accelerator.
Materials handling vehicle path validation and dynamic path modification
A materials handling vehicle comprising a path validation tool and a drive unit, steering unit, localization module, and navigation module that cooperate to navigate the vehicle along a warehouse travel path. The tool comprises warehouse layout data, a proposed travel path, vehicle kinematics, and a dynamic vehicle boundary that approximates the vehicle physical periphery. The tool executes path validation logic to determine vehicle pose along the proposed travel path, update the dynamic vehicle boundary to account for changes in vehicle speed and steering angle, determine whether the dynamic vehicle boundary is likely to intersect obstacles represented in the layout data based on the determined vehicle pose at candidate positions along the proposed travel path, determine a degree of potential impingement at the candidate positions by referring to the dynamic vehicle boundary and obstacle data, and modify the proposed travel path to mitigate the degree of potential impingement.
WORKING VEHICLE
A working vehicle includes a prime mover provided on a vehicle body, a first indicator light provided on the vehicle body, a second indicator light provided on a working device connected to the vehicle body, and an integrated controller including a first controller portion to control the prime mover, and a second controller portion to control the first indicator light and the second indicator light.
AUTOMATED TRACTOR SPEED ADJUSTMENT FOR AVOIDANCE OF PLUGGING A BALER
A system for adjusting a tractor speed based on a performance of a pickup of a baler comprises a flow rate sensor, a processing element, and a tractor speed controller. The flow rate sensor senses a flow rate of a crop into the pickup and outputs a flow rate signal with a level that varies according to the flow rate of the crop into the pickup. The processing element receives the flow rate signal, receives a speed signal regarding a speed of a tractor pulling the baler, compares the flow rate from the flow rate signal with the speed from the speed signal to generate a comparison result, and outputs an electronic speed signal with a level that varies according to the comparison result. The tractor speed controller is configured to receive the speed signal and adjust a speed of the tractor according to the level of the speed signal.
METHOD FOR TRACTION-RELATED CONTROL OF A DRIVELINE OF A WORKING MACHINE
A method for the traction-related control of a drive-train of a working machine (1) which has a drive unit (2), a transmission (3), a control unit (10) and first and second vehicle axles (7, 9) with rotatable wheels (6, 8). At least one of the vehicle axles (7, 9) is driven, and as a function of a specification either a first function (A) or a second function (B) is implemented. The first function (A) implements slip-orientated loading control and the second function (B) implements traction-efficiency control of the drive-train of the working machine (1).
METHOD FOR TRACTION-RELATED SPEED CONTROL OF A WORKING MACHINE
A method (A) for the traction-related control of a drive-train of a working machine (1) having a drive unit (2), a transmission (3), a control unit (10) and first and second vehicle axles (7, 9) each supporting wheels (6, 8). At least one of the vehicle axles (7, 9) being driven, and following the entry of a drive requirement relating to a driving speed, wheel slip is iteratively reduced by adapting a rotational speed of the wheels (6, 8) of the driven vehicle axle (7, 9).
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING FAILURE OF ACTUATOR OF VEHICLE
A device for detecting a failure of an actuator of a vehicle includes: a training device that trains a model using training data comprising behavior data of the vehicle and a steering compensation angle, and a controller that detects the failure of the actuator in the vehicle based on the model.
