Assembly and an autonomous agricultural machine for performing an agricultural operation, in particular crop processing
First Claim
1. An assembly for performing crop processing, the assembly comprising:
- an agricultural machine that is movable over a parcel for performing the crop processing; and
a control unit for automatically controlling the movement of the agricultural machine, the control unit comprising a memory containing sound-standard data, the control unit controlling the movement of the agricultural machine with the aid of the sound-standard data to define an allowed area of operation within the agricultural parcel in which the agricultural machine may perform the crop processing and a forbidden area of operation within the agricultural parcel in which the agricultural machine may not perform the crop processing.

Abstract
An assembly for performing an agricultural operation, in particular crop processing. The assembly is provided with an autonomous agricultural machine that is movable over a parcel for performing the agricultural operation and with a control unit for controlling the functioning of the autonomous agricultural machine. The control unit is provided with a memory containing sound-standard data. The control unit controls the functioning of the autonomous agricultural machine with the aid of the sound-standard data. An autonomous agricultural machine for performing the agricultural operation. The autonomous agricultural machine is provided with a control unit for controlling the functioning of the autonomous agricultural machine, with a position-determining system for determining the momentary position of the agricultural machine in the parcel, and with a sound meter. The control unit is provided with a memory containing sound-standard data. The control unit controls the functioning of the autonomous agricultural machine with the aid of the sound-standard data and/or data from the sound meter.
