    Abstract: As a farming machine travels through a field of plants, the farming machine operates in a normal operational state to perform one or more farming operations. The farming machine detects an operational failure of a component of the farming machine using measurements obtained from one or more sensors coupled to and monitoring the farming machine. The operational failure of the component impacts performance of a first farming operation of the farming operations. The farming machine configures the farming machine to operate in a remedial operational state. In the remedial operational state, the farming machine diagnoses the operational failure of the component using the obtained measurements. In the remedial operational state, the farming machine selects a solution operation to address the operational failure of the component based on the diagnosis. The farming machine performs the determined solution operation.

    Abstract: A farming machine is configured to autonomously operate in a field to accomplish a farming objective. While doing so the farming machine can dynamically modify treatment plans and/or generate experimental treatment plans. Dynamically modifying treatment plans includes modifying, delaying, accelerating, adding, and/or removing farming actions in a treatment plan. Generating an experimental treatment plan includes intentionally modifying a treatment plan to induce a variance in a result, measuring the result, and determining whether the result from the experimental treatment plan is better than the unmodified treatment plan. The farming machine is also configured to generate user interactable feedback, and receive user generated instruction, to dynamically modify treatment plans and/or generate experimental treatment plans.

    Abstract: A boom sprayer includes any number of components to treat plants as the boom sprayer travels through a plant field. The components take actions to treat plants or facilitate treating plants. The boom sprayer includes any number of sensors to measure the state of the boom sprayer as the boom sprayer treats plants. The boom sprayer includes a control system to generate actions for the components to treat plants in the field. The control system includes an agent executing a model that functions to improve the performance of the boom sprayer treating plants. Performance improvement can be measured by the sensors of the boom sprayer. The model is an artificial neural network that receives measurements as inputs and generates actions that improve performance as outputs. The artificial neural network is trained using actor-critic reinforcement learning techniques.

    Abstract: A combine harvester (combine) includes any number of components to harvest plants as the combine travels through a plant field. The components take actions to harvest plants or facilitate harvesting plants. The combine includes any number of sensors to measure the state of the combine as the combine harvests plants. The combine includes a control system to generate actions for the components to harvest plants in the field. The control system includes an agent executing a model that functions to improve the performance of the combine harvesting plants. Performance improvement can be measured by the sensors of the combine. The model is an artificial neural network that receives measurements as inputs and generates actions that improve performance as outputs. The artificial neural network is trained using actor-critic reinforcement learning techniques.
