Abstract: A system for protecting a plot of crops for an agricultural vehicle. The system includes a protection device configured to measure at least one characteristic value of crops being treated. The system further includes a control unit configured to: receive a measurement of the at least one characteristic value coming from the protection device; identify the state of the crop being treated wherein the state can be a “deteriorated” state or a “preserved” state; and transmit a signal for protecting the plot of crops to the agricultural vehicle or to a remote terminal when the crop being treated is in a deteriorated state.

Abstract: The invention relates to an autonomous agricultural machine including a frame and means for moving the machine intended to rest on a ground, as well as an obstacle detection device attached to said frame on one side, the obstacle detection device including a sensing edge configured to detect an obstacle in the environment of the machine by contact with said obstacle, the obstacle detection device further comprises a ground contact member, arranged on the obstacle detection device between the sensing edge and the side attached to the frame, and such that a lower end of the contact member is closer to a ground contact plane of the means for moving the machine than a lower end of the sensing edge.

Abstract: An autonomous agricultural robot including: a control unit and treatment tools. The autonomous agricultural robot being characterised in that it includes a protective device. This protective device is configured to: measure characteristic quantities of so-called upstream crops, these crops being located upstream of the treatment tools; measure characteristic quantities of so-called downstream crops, these crops being located downstream of the treatment tools. The control unit being configured to: receive the measurements of the characteristic quantities of the upstream and downstream crops; perform a comparison of the measurements of the characteristic quantities of the same upstream and downstream crops; transmit a command for protecting the crop parcel to the autonomous agricultural robot when the comparison exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An autonomous agricultural robot, referred to as robot, including: a straddle chassis defining an aisle through which a row of crops can pass, propulsion means for moving the robot in a direction of forward travel, a control unit for controlling the robot and an obstacle-characterization device. This device including: obstacle detection means which are configured to detect an obstacle lying in the path of the autonomous agricultural robot, a processing unit configured so that when an obstacle is detected by the obstacle-detection means, the unit logs the data collected by the obstacle-detection means, and/or processes the data collected by the obstacle-detection means and determines at least one characteristic of the detected obstacle.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a device for trapping a mole, in particular for the purpose of its eradication, forming a passage (10) through which the mole can travel and comprising a support (12) and means (14) for immobilizing said mole.

Abstract: This device comprising engaging and retaining means (1b), (1c), (1d), (1e) collaborating with the central hole in the disc, said disc engaging and retaining means being formed as an overhang over a circular central region (1) exhibited by the base (1), is notable in that the region (1a) has arrangements able, when finger pressure is applied to said means (1b), to allow them to retract in part only so as to cause simultaneous controlled tilting of the disc corresponding to its partial release from the base (1) so that it can be grasped by hand at the released part.
