ABSTRACT

Processes for an autonomous grain facility are described herein. The process
could include sampling and grading. For sampling, the system controls a robot
to capture position data of a trailer and area data of grain, determines one
or more sampling areas within the trailer, and controls the robot to obtain a
sample from each of the sampling areas. For grading, the system measures data
with both a near infrared sensor and a second sensor, analyzes all of the data
to determine a dispositive action to be performed on the respective sample,
and controls the system to perform the dispositive action.
