Autonomous agriculture platform guidance system

This system guides farm vehicles autonomously. It uses GPS and a laser-based scanner (LIDAR) mounted on the vehicle to detect its position, intended path, and any obstacles. A decision-making unit then controls the vehicle's steering and speed, allowing it to navigate fields and avoid collisions. The claims specifically mention platforms like tractors and ATVs, and controls such as velocity and steering actuators.

Why it matters: Filed before affordable, high-performance LIDAR and powerful embedded processors were common. These are now readily available, making robust autonomous control more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedGPS, LIDAR, vehicle actuators, control software.
