Draw Area for AI Fieldwork (Useful for more specific and faster AI work assignment)

Post by johndc_92 »

Hello. I would like to propose a feature that would allow users to draw an area for the AI fieldwork. This will be very useful in making a more specific fieldwork instruction than just letting the AI go from the regular A to B programmed location.

This will also make the work easier and faster considering that there are no need for additional workarounds. The only thing the user has to do is draw a shape around the area that is allowed and the AI will do its regular job but with just minor area restrictions made by the user.

Thank you.

What specific instructions would you want to give them for the restricted area?

I could see it being useful for creating a new field or cutting grass.

Since there are so many problems in AI detecting the field boundaries - if one don't do a couple of headlands first, the AI has been known for continuing on the neighbouring fields - this could be an awesome feature.

I forgot to specify. You are right it is mainly about fieldworks like plowing and mowing. Cultivating, seeding and other tasks might also benefit from this.

That was the main issue I had. I am planning to keep some areas on the field for adding buildings and open areas for parking and storage. The current AI has a lot of potential, it just needs some assistance from the user and I believe this might be a very useful way of guiding it and make it perform tasks more specificly than just steamrolling everything in the field.
