Abstract: A detection system detects malfunctions in an autonomous farming vehicle during an autonomous routine using one or more models and data from sensors coupled to the autonomous farming vehicle. The models may include machine-learned models trained on the sensor data and configured to identify objects indicative of an operational or malfunctioning component within a tilling assembly such as a tilling shank or sweep. Additionally, a machine-learned model may be trained on sensor data to detect whether debris has plugged the tilling assembly of the autonomous farming vehicle. In response to detecting a malfunction or a plug, the detection system may modify the autonomous routine (e.g., pausing operation) or provide information for the malfunction to be addressed (e.g., the likely location of a malfunctioning sweep that has detached from the tilling assembly).

Abstract: A novel and useful quantum computing machine includes classic computing and quantum computing cores. A programmable pattern generator executes instructions that control the quantum core. A pulse generator generates the control signals input to the quantum core to perform quantum operations. A partial readout of the quantum state is re-injected into the quantum core to extend decoherence time. Access gates control movement of quantum particles in the quantum core. Errors are corrected from the readout before being re-injected into the quantum core. Internal and external calibration loops calculate error syndromes and calibrate control pulses input to the quantum core. Control of the quantum core is provided from an external support unit via the pattern generator or retrieved from classic memory where sequences of commands are stored in memory. A cryostat unit functions to cool the quantum computing core to approximately 4 Kelvin.
