    摘要: A tractor includes an electronic tractor controller. A baler includes an electronic baler controller. The baler controller submits a halt signal to the tractor controller when a bale size is equal to or exceeds a first predetermined size. The baler controller generates a tractor halt signal in response to certain conditions of the baler system and the tractor controller preventing tractor motion in response to the halt signal. When the baler controller is generating the halt signal, tractor motion is enabled if the operator commands the tractor to move by manipulating the command device, and within a certain time period of said command being issued, the baler controller generates a tractor motion enabling signal in response a status of the baler system. When the baler controller is generating the halt signal, tractor motion is enabled if the operator moves the tractor command device in a special manner.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for distributed perception sensing via an object detection station arranged such that an associated one or more object detection sensors have respective fields of perception including at least a portion of a virtually defined perimeter extending at least partially about a working area. The object detection station detects a motion incident corresponding to a violation of the virtually defined perimeter, wherein a detected source of the motion incident is classified with respect to one or more defined source types, and one or more signals at least corresponding to the motion incident are wirelessly communicated to one or more working machines operating within the working area. At least one of the working machines may then be selectively transitioned from a normal operating mode to a hierarchical intervention mode with respect to the detected source and/or a relative position thereof within the working area.

    摘要: An autonomous off-road vehicle, upon encountering an obstruction while navigating a route, can apply a first machine-learned model to identify the obstruction. In the event that the first machine-learned model cannot identify the obstruction, the autonomous off-road vehicle can apply a second machine-learned model configured to determine whether or not the obstruction can be ignored, for instance based on dimensions of the obstruction. If the obstruction can be ignored, the autonomous off-road vehicle can continue navigating the route. If the obstruction cannot be ignored, the autonomous off-road vehicle can modify the route, can stop, can flag the obstruction to a remote human operator, can modify an interface of a human operator to display a notification or a video feed from the vehicle, and the like.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to track a blade are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a blade that is pivotable, first and second optical targets operatively coupled to the blade, and a first camera for collecting first imaging data of the first optical target within a first field of view. The example apparatus also includes a second camera for collecting second imaging data of the second optical target within a second field of view. The example apparatus also includes a selector to select at least one of the first or second imaging data, and a processor to determine an orientation of the blade based on the selected imaging data.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for efficient material application. An example landscape treatment apparatus includes a main carrier tank to store a solvent, a concentrate tank to store a solute, and a first mix tank to receive the solvent and the solute as a first mixture. The example apparatus further includes a second mix tank to receive the solvent and the solute as a second mixture, where the first mix tank is to receive the solvent and the solute in alternation with the second mix tank receiving the solvent and the solute. The example apparatus also includes a boom to apply the first mixture and the second mixture to a landscape via a plurality of nozzles, where the boom is to apply the first mixture and the second mixture in alternation.
