Abstract
Multiple agricultural machines for cooperative operations are a technology that utilizes multiple agricultural machines to work together to complete specific agricultural tasks. This technology can improve productivity and reduce labor intensity, which can help alleviate the impact of population aging on agriculture. However, there remains a challenge in the practical application of this technology in terms of adaptability, operational accuracy, and operational efficiency. This review aims to systematically overview the status of multiple agricultural machines for cooperative operations through multiple machines planning technology, multiple machines communication technology, and multiple machines cooperative control. Taking the harvester-grain truck owner from the cooperative harvesting scene and the homogeneous multi-machine cooperation scene of the same kind of operation as an example, this work summarizes the typical operation scenarios and application areas of multi-machine cooperation in agriculture. Additionally, this review discusses the challenges and future directions of multiple agricultural machines for cooperative operations.
期刊介绍:
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture provides international coverage of advancements in computer hardware, software, electronic instrumentation, and control systems applied to agricultural challenges. Encompassing agronomy, horticulture, forestry, aquaculture, and animal farming, the journal publishes original papers, reviews, and applications notes. It explores the use of computers and electronics in plant or animal agricultural production, covering topics like agricultural soils, water, pests, controlled environments, and waste. The scope extends to on-farm post-harvest operations and relevant technologies, including artificial intelligence, sensors, machine vision, robotics, networking, and simulation modeling. Its companion journal, Smart Agricultural Technology, continues the focus on smart applications in production agriculture.
