    摘要: The efficiency of work done by an agricultural robot (1) in a facility (100) is improved.
    An agricultural robot (1) includes a traveling body (3), a working unit (4) to do work relating to a crop (2), the working unit (4) being provided on the traveling body (3), an optical sensor (5A, 5B) provided on the traveling body (3), and a location manager (41C) to determine, based on sensor data obtained by the optical sensor (5A, 5B), whether or not the traveling body (3) is located in a facility (100) for cultivation of the crop (2), and the working unit (4) does the work relating to the crop (2) based on the working unit (4) if the location manager (41C) determines the traveling body (3) as being located in the facility (100).

    摘要: Implementations set forth herein relate to using fiducial markings on one or more localized portions of an agricultural apparatus in order to generate local and regional data that can be correlated for planning and executing agricultural maintenance. An array of fiducial markings can be disposed onto plastic mulch that surrounds individual crops, in order that each fiducial marking of the array can operate as a signature for each individual crop. Crop data, such as health and yield, corresponding to a particular crop can then be stored in association with a corresponding fiducial marking, thereby allowing the certain data for the particular crop to be tracked and analyzed. Furthermore, autonomous agricultural devices can rely on the crop data, over other sources of data, such as GPS satellites, thereby allowing the autonomous agricultural devices to be more reliable.

    摘要: The present disclosure refers to a method for determining output data from crop plant characteristics for a crop plant, the method comprising, in a data processing system (2) having one or more processors: providing measurement data detected for a crop plant (1); determining model data representing a three dimensional model of the crop plant (1) from the measurement data; segmenting the three dimensional model of the crop plant (1) into a plurality of three dimensional segments; determining first crop plant characteristics for a first subpart of the crop plant (1) provided in a first three dimensional segment of the plurality of three dimensional segments; and providing output data at an output device (3). The output data comprise at least one of the following: media data comprising at least one of video data and audio data indicative of the first crop plant characteristics for the first subpart of the crop plant (1) provided in the first three dimensional segment; and operation control data indicative of operation control signals for controlling operating of an agricultural machine working on the crop plant (1), the operation control signals comprising first operation control signals determined from the first crop plant characteristics and configured to control operation of the agricultural machine for applying an agricultural treatment to the first subpart of the crop plant (1). Further, a method for controlling operation of an agricultural machine, an agricultural machine, and a computer program product are provided.
