It is related to the platform. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Agricultural mobile platforms and agricultural robots are used in agricultural work areas. 15 in carrying out operations such as movement, harvesting, maintenance, cutting and spraying It is used. However, agricultural activities are particularly problematic for users with limited mobility. Considering the safe and controlled participation in operations, the current mobility, robotic manipulation, and active safety functions in systems with human intervention to be implemented as an integrated and mandatory control chain on the agricultural platform There are shortcomings in this regard. 20 In current robotic arm agricultural systems, the robotic arm is mostly used for harvesting, maintenance, as an agricultural task actuator that performs cutting or spraying operations It is used to support the weight of the robotic arm in case of tilt or imbalance of the platform. redesigned to help keep the center within the support polygon positioning and thus the position of the total center of gravity of the platform 25 to change, reduce the moment in the direction of overturning or balancing moment a safety actuator that actively contributes to platform stability by creating Its use is limited. Therefore, platform stability with a robotic arm is crucial. A direct and necessary control relationship cannot be established between the robotic arm and the platform. Its function of increasing the effective tipping threshold is not being fully utilized. 30 In current applications using LIDAR, IMU, and manipulator data, the word... The data in question are mostly independent of each other, such as alerts, passive stops, or single-function signals. It is used in the formation of control decisions. Obstacle distance, slope, acceleration By weighting different risk sources such as change and robot arm moment, a single and 2 converting it into a measurable risk score, then basing that risk score on predetermined Changing the robot arm position, platform speed, or according to defined thresholds. route restrictions, agricultural operation shutdown, and phased emergency response. The steps involved in forming the decision are triggered in a sequential and mandatory manner. It is not adequately addressed in systems as an integrated and sequential control chain. 5 Although obstacle-detecting agricultural systems can stop the work equipment, IMU slope data can also be used. Active recovery by combining robot arm moment data within the same weighted risk score. It does not perform. Stability determines the speed or operating limit on sloping terrain. The systems utilize agricultural end effector locking and the counter-moment position of the robotic arm. It does not carry out the decision-making process and the phased SOS decision-making within the same control chain. Obstacle 10 a combination of different risk factors such as distance, slope, acceleration change, and robot arm moment a single, measurable risk score weighted by the control unit conversion and transfer of this risk score to the robot arm controller, platform drive sequential control commands to the system, agricultural end effectors, and emergency response unit. The transmission is not adequately handled in an integrated control chain in current applications. 15 not accepted. Users with limited mobility experience delayed physical response due to joystick issues. loss of control or safe stopping in a narrow greenhouse corridor Situations such as failure to perform, using a single sensor, or only providing a warning to the operator. It cannot be managed adequately with the systems that provide it. Similarly, the agricultural sector 20 The effector automatically provides safety in case of obstacle approach, tilt, or imbalance. The mode is taken and the working status of the end effector is determined along with the platform movement. Its evaluation remains limited. Regarding mobile manipulator stabilization... Although repositioning of the robotic arm is possible in manned agricultural systems, platform, user with mobility limitations, LIDAR-based obstacle detection, modular 25 Joystick, agricultural operation lock, and hierarchical emergency response chain are considered together. not accepted. Current emergency response systems also generally respond to a single event or a single threshold. The detection of its value triggers an alarm or call. Slope, acceleration Changes, wheel slippage, robot arm pose, and absence of joystick signal for a specific time (30) together with the window and robotic arm before the SOS decision changing position, limiting speed and locking the agricultural end effector The mandatory implementation of active recovery measures such as these is not being ensured. the situation is such that a brief change in a single sensor value triggers an emergency call or 3 This prevents the platform from generating sufficient active control effects in a real risk situation. It is possible. Therefore, the solution needed with the current technology is not individual sensors or individual sensors. It's not simply a matter of adding robotic components to a platform. The required structure, converting data from sensors into a measurable risk score, and subtracting 5 from that score. The movement controls the platform's drive system, robotic arm, and agricultural end effectors. It is an active security architecture that creates an impact through sequential, mandatory, and tiered processes.

A sensor that supports participation in operations in a safer and more controlled manner. The goal is to develop a fusion-based active safety control system. The invention allows different users to create a structure that can be applied in profiles and controlled production environments It aims to... 15 Another objective of the invention is to combine LIDAR obstacle distance, IMU tilt and acceleration data. By combining robot arm status data, we can calculate a measurable risk score and by moving away from simply displaying the calculated risk score to a value shown to the user The invention is intended for use in carrying out mandatory security actions. In this context, the invention... Obtaining LIDAR, IMU and robotic arm status data, calculating the risk score, robot 20 Changing the arm position, restricting the platform speed or direction of movement, Agricultural end-effectors should be placed in a safe working situation and a phased SOS decision should be made. to carry out the sequential reaction chain consisting of evaluation steps It aims to... Another purpose of the invention is to use the robotic arm not only for harvesting, maintenance, cutting or spraying. 25 not as an end effector carrier performing its tasks, but as a critical slope or In case of imbalance, the platform's center of gravity must be within the support polygon. Changing the position of the overall center of gravity of the platform that helps to hold it, to reduce the height of the center of gravity, to reduce the moment in the direction of tipping, or a 30 that actively contributes to platform stability by creating a balancing moment. The goal is to use risk score or IMU data as a safety actuator. Thus, risk score or IMU data becomes a critical factor. When the situation is indicated, the robotic arm is guided into a position that increases platform stability. and the aim is to increase the effective tipping threshold of the platform. 4 Another objective of the invention is for the risk score to exceed predefined thresholds.

The platform is unsafe because the agricultural operation lock has not been removed. The aim is to prevent him from starting work again under these conditions. Another objective of the invention is to analyze slope, acceleration change, wheel slip, robot arm pose, and by jointly evaluating the absence of joystick signal within a specific time window The goal is to create a gradual SOS response. This way, short-term vibrations or just 10 The immediate triggering of an emergency call if a single variable exceeds its threshold value. prevention is achieved by initially providing local audio and visual warnings, and if the risk persists and Unless cancelled by the user, the GSM / LTE call will receive a local network notification. or the purpose is to transmit GNSS location information. Another aim of the invention is to address narrow corridor geometry, plant height, and obstacle 15. platform speed, direction of movement, and depending on the density and the reach limit of the robot arm The goal is to automatically adapt the agricultural operation mode. Thus, the system only... Instead of functioning as a mechanism that gives a warning after a rollover or collision, an active control architecture that reduces the likelihood of these risks occurring in advance The aim is to create. 20 LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.
