Study on enhanced automeation and informatics of harvesting system by robot combine

本研究开发了一种基于GNSS自主行走的喂头联合机器人。该联合收割机可以以0.6m/s的速度收割水稻作物，并可以在岬角向左90度或180度转弯以改变方向。当机器人的粮仓装满粮食时，机器人在运输车附近自主移动，并自动将粮食从粮仓卸至运输车。之后，它又开始收割最近的水稻作物。此外，机器人还可以通过手机将机器人的位置和机器状态信息发送到数据服务器。此外，还开发了一个用于远程监控机器人位置和机器状态的Web应用程序。

A head-feeding combine robot that autonomously can travel by GNSS was developed in this study. This combine robot can harvest rice crop at speed of 0.6m/s, and it can turn left at 90 degrees or 180 degrees to change its direction at headlands. When a grain tank of the robot is full of grains, the robot travels nearby the transporter autonomously, and it can unload grains from tank to transporter automatically. After that, it starts to harvest the nearest rice crop again. Additionally, the robot can send information about position and machine status of the robot to a data server by mobile phone. Furthermore, a Web application to remotely monitor the position and machine status of the robot was developed.
