Overview
The row crop harvesting project targeted three levels of automation: “cruise control,” “teach/playback” and full autonomy.
| • |
A "cruise control” feature to automatically
steer, drive and control the harvesting header, thereby
allowing allow the operator to focus on other in-cab controls
and harvest conditions. |
| • |
A GPS-based "teach/playback” system to enable
the harvester to "learn” a field and then
repeat a given path, thereby allowing one operator to
remotely control several harvesters. |
| • |
A fully autonomous harvester using vision perception
to completely harvest a field with no human supervision. |
