  • Patent number: 12414491
    Abstract: Control systems and methods for coordinating multiple agricultural machines for operation on an agricultural field are provided. Each machine may receive field data for an agricultural field that optionally includes a plurality of pre-defined swaths. Each machine may receive state data from other machine(s). The state data for the other machine(s) may include a next swath and a current swath. Each machine may, after an indication of a start of its current swath, determine a next swath based on open swaths and the state data for the other machine(s). A next swath may also be determined using vehicle kinematic data, and conflicts between machines may be resolved.

  • Publication number: 20240409127
    Abstract: A framework for safely operating autonomous machinery, such as vehicles and other heavy equipment, in an in-field or off-road environment, includes detecting, identifying, and tracking objects from on-board sensors configured with the autonomous machinery as it performs activities in either an agricultural setting or a transportation environment. The framework generates commands for navigational control of autonomously-operated vehicles in response to detected objects and predicted tracks thereof for safe operation in the performance of those activities. The framework processes image data and range data in multiple fields of view around the autonomously-operated to discern and track objects in a deep learning to accurately interpret this data for determining and effecting such navigational control.

  • Publication number: 20240062535
    Abstract: A framework for safely operating autonomous machinery, such as vehicles and other heavy equipment, in an in-field or off-road environment, includes detecting, identifying, classifying and tracking objects and/or terrain characteristics from on-board sensors that capture images in front and around the autonomous machinery as it performs agricultural or other activities. The framework generates commands for navigational control of the autonomous machinery in response to perceived objects and terrain impacting safe operation. The framework processes image data and range data in multiple fields of view around the autonomous equipment to discern objects and terrain, and applies artificial intelligence techniques in one or more neural networks to accurately interpret this data for enabling such safe operation.

  • Publication number: 20170088822
    Abstract: The present invention relates to drug targets for Burkholderia pseudomallei. The invention provides a crystalline polypeptide derived from Burkholderia pseudomallei comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1. Also provided are methods for co-crystallizing a binary enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (FabI) with a potential inhibitor of an FabI activity and for identifying an inhibitor of an activity of enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (FabI). A representative example of such a crystalline structure is a BpmFabI:AFN-1252 complex.
