Embodiment Construction

[0018] I. Introduction

[0019] Agricultural machinery for manipulating (handling) the growing plants in a plantation has continued to improve over time. Agricultural machines may include a number of components for accomplishing the task of harvesting plants in a plantation. An agricultural machine may also include any number of sensors that take measurements to monitor the performance of components, groups of components, or the status of components. Traditionally, the measurements are reported to the operator, who can manually change the configuration of the agricultural machine's components to improve performance. However, as agricultural machines increase in complexity, it becomes increasingly difficult for operators to understand how individual changes in components affect the overall performance of the agricultural machine. Similarly, typical optical control models that automatically tune machine components are not feasible because the various processes that accomplish ...

Abstract

A combine harvester (combine) includes any number of components to harvest plants as the combine travels through a plant field. The components take actions to harvest plants or facilitate harvesting plants. The combine includes any number of sensors to measure the state of the combine as the combine harvests plants. The combine includes a control system to generate actions for the components to harvest plants in the field. Thecontrol system includes an agent executing a model that functions to improve the performance of the combine harvesting plants. Performance improvement can be measured bythe sensors of the combine. The model is an artificial neural network that receives measurements as inputs and generates actions that improve performance as outputs. The artificial neural network is trained using actor-critic reinforcement learning techniques.

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 474,563, filed March 21, 2017, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 475,118, filed March 22, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety Incorporated into this article. technical field [0003] The present application relates to a system for controlling a combine harvester in a plantation field, and more particularly to using reinforcement learning methods to control a combine harvester. Background technique [0004] Traditionally, combines have been manually operated vehicles in which the machine includes manual or digital inputs that allow the operator to control various settings of the combine. More recently, machine optimization programs have been introduced in an attempt to reduce the need for operator input. However, even these algorithms fail to account for various machine and plantation field conditio...
