Abstract
An autonomous control system of a weeding tool is connected to an agricultural vehicle. The weeding tool is configured to assume a weeding condition and a retracted condition. The autonomous control system includes a 3D sensor associated with a front part of the agricultural vehicle and configured to acquire a point cloud corresponding to a scenario in front of the agricultural vehicle, and an electronic control unit configured to cyclically generate a map of poles and/or trunks detected by the 3D sensor using the point cloud, command the weeding condition of the weeding tool in response to determining the distance between the weeding tool and a pole and/or trunk is greater than a threshold distance, and command the retracted condition of the weeding tool in response to determining the distance is less than or equal to the threshold distance.
