Automation Engineering Assitance and Automation

The use of assistance and automation solutions in modern agriculture machines proceeds with increasing speed. New sensors, optimized algorithms, cheaper electronics and increasing computing power led to a high number of new automation systems within the last two years. A distinction has to be made between monitoring systems, informing or giving recom-mendations to the driver, as well as controlling systems, supporting the driver in complex, monotonous or high dynamic tasks. The following sections give an overview of different sys-tems, presented during the last two years.
