    摘要: A rear perception module is utilized in conjunction with a work vehicle having a work vehicle cabin and a cabin roof. In an embodiment, the rear perception module includes an environmental depth perception (EDP) sensor system including a first EDP device having a field of view encompassing an environmental region to a rear of the work vehicle, a rear module housing mounted to an upper trailing edge portion of the cabin roof, and vents formed in exterior walls of the rear module housing to facilitate airflow through the rear module housing along a cooling airflow path. A heat-generating electronic component is electrically coupled to the first EDP device and positioned in or adjacent the cooling airflow path such that excess heat generated by the heat-generating electronic component is dissipated by convective transfer to airflow conducted along the cooling airflow path during operation of the rear perception module.

    摘要: A front perception module is utilized in conjunction with a front ballast system, which is included in a work vehicle and which has a laterally-extending hanger bracket supporting a number of removable ballast weights. In various embodiments, the front perception module includes an environmental depth perception (EDP) sensor system including a first EDP device having a field of view (FOV) encompassing an environmental region forward of the work vehicle, a mounting base attached to the work vehicle, and a front module housing containing the EDP sensor system and joined to the work vehicle through the mounting base. The front module housing is positioned over and vertically spaced from the laterally-extending hanger bracket in a manner enabling positioning of the removable ballast weights beneath the front module housing.

    摘要: A mobile device includes a processor and memory, coupled to the processor, which memory contains instructions that when executed cause the processor to provide an autonomy management application. The autonomy management application includes an autonomy approval function. The autonomy approval function provides a user interface configured to display at least one aspect of an autonomy job to a user and receive user acceptance of the autonomy job. The autonomy approval function is configured to instruct the user to move within a pre-determined distance from an autonomous work machine that will execute the autonomy job and provide a machine-verified indication of user proximity within the pre-determined distance. The autonomy approval function includes a begin mission user interface element displayable after verification that a user has moved within the pre-determined distance of the autonomous work machine, which begin mission user interface element, when selected, causes the autonomy approval function to initiate motion. A computer-implemented method is also provided.

    摘要: A mobile agricultural machine includes a sensor that senses a characteristic of the environment in which the mobile agricultural machine is operating and generates a sensor signal indicative of the characteristic. The mobile agricultural machine also accesses a data store having stored data indicative of characteristics that can affect an ability of the mobile agricultural machine to perform an operation. Further, the mobile agricultural machine includes a confidence system configured to receive the stored data and generate a confidence level value indicative of a confidence in the ability of the mobile agricultural machine to perform the operation based on the stored data; and an action signal generator configured to generate an action signal to control an action of the mobile agricultural machine based on the confidence level value.
