Carrier system comprising a carrier and a mobile device for tilling the soil and/or for manipulating flora and fauna, and method therefor

A method for real-time control of the tilling of the soil and/or of the manipulation of the flora and fauna by a carrier system (10),

• said carrier system (10) comprising a carrier (12) and a mobile device (14) for working the soil and/or for manipulating the flora and fauna wherein:
• said carrier (12) having:
• a drive (16) for moving said carrier system (10),
• a control system (12b), said control system (12b) controls said drive (16) and includes pre-defined movements of said carrier system (10),
• an energy source (24) having a voltage, said voltage applied to and operates said drive (16),
• a detachable voltage plug connection,
• a detachable communication plug connection,
• a right gripper arm (82b) and a left gripper arm (82a),
• a receptacle (12a) for receiving and connecting to said mobile device (14);
• said carrier (12) and said mobile device (14) further include:
• a first gripper receptacle (14c) and a second gripper receptacle (14c) on said mobile device receive and interengage said right gripper arm (82b) and said left gripper arm (82a) of said carrier, and, during said interengagement of said gripper receptacles (14c, 14c) of said mobile device (14) and said gripper arms (82a, 82b) of said carrier (12), said gripper arm (82a) and said gripper arm (82b), respectively, of said carrier (12) grip said mobile device (14) and move said mobile device (14) upwards toward said carrier (12) into said receptacle (12a) of said carrier (12),
• a voltage interface (26a) is on said carrier (12) and a voltage interface (26b) corresponding to said voltage interface (26a) is on said mobile device (14), said voltage interfaces (26a, 26b) are connected to one another via said detachable plug connection (28) whereby voltage and power are transferred from said carrier (12) to said mobile device (14),
• a first data communication interface (36a) on said carrier (12) and a second data communication interface (36b) on said mobile device (14), said data communication interfaces (36a, 36b) are connected to one another via said detachable plug connection (38),
• a communication unit (30),
• said first data communication interface (36a) co-operates with said second data communication interface (36b) and with said communication unit (30) in order to exchange data by and between said carrier (12) and said mobile device (14),
• a second communication interface (32) that co-operates with said communication unit (30) and that receives control data and forwards said control data to said control system (12b), and,
• said control system (12b) renders said pre-defined movements of said carrier system (10),
• comprising the following steps of:
• determining the necessary measures, said determining necessary measures being a determination of the need for tilling and working said soil, and said determining necessary measures being a determination of the need for manipulating said flora or fauna wherein said determination of said necessary measures is carried out by a mobile device (14) as follows:
• a. continuous recording over time of data-defined voxels and/or pixels and/or images by a said sensor (62) of said mobile device (14);
• b. transmission of said recorded data to a database (78);
• c. storage of said recorded data in said database (78);
• d. qualitative data comparison of said recorded data with said data stored in said database (78), while performing segmentation, data reduction, and/or verification of said recorded data with a computer (46, 76);
• e. evaluation of said compared recorded data with existing defined data sets in said database (78) by a classifier (68) in connection with said computer (46, 76);
• and
• f. processing and conversion of said evaluation by said computer (46, 76) into control and control-related data for a motor (50), an actuator (48), a tool unit (52) and/or a carrier (12);
• and, performing said necessary measures.
