PATH-PLANNING SYSTEM FOR SELF-DRIVING AGRICULTURAL MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18670236 titled 'PATH-PLANNING SYSTEM FOR SELF-DRIVING AGRICULTURAL MACHINE

The abstract describes a path planning system for a self-driving agricultural machine, which includes a storage for a map with fields and roads, and a processor to generate paths for the machine on the map.

The system generates a first path for the machine to travel while performing agricultural work in fields, and a second path for the machine to travel towards the fields on the road.
The first path is on the corresponding field on the map, while the second path is on the road on the map.

Potential Applications: - Precision agriculture - Autonomous farming operations - Crop management and monitoring

Problems Solved: - Efficient navigation in agricultural fields - Optimal route planning for agricultural tasks - Increased productivity and reduced manual labor

Benefits: - Enhanced efficiency in farming operations - Cost savings through automation - Improved crop yield and quality

Commercial Applications: Title: "Autonomous Path Planning System for Agricultural Machines" This technology can be utilized in the agriculture industry for autonomous farming equipment, leading to increased productivity and cost savings for farmers.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the path planning system improve efficiency in agricultural operations? - The system optimizes routes for the agricultural machine, reducing time and resources required for tasks. 2. What are the potential cost savings for farmers using this autonomous technology? - Farmers can save on labor costs and increase productivity with the efficient path planning system.

Original Abstract Submitted

A path planning system for an agricultural machine performing self-driving includes a storage to store a map including fields and a road around the fields, and a processor to generate a path for the agricultural machine on the map. The processor is configured or programmed to generate a first path along which the agricultural machine is to travel while performing agricultural work in any of the fields, the first path being generated on the corresponding field on the map, and generate a second path along which the agricultural machine is to travel toward the field, the second path being generated on the road on the map.
