Abstract. In order to solve shortage and aging of working force in agriculture, automation and robotalization of agricultural machinery are promoted rapidly. It is, however, necessary to secure the safety of robotic operation and prevent accidents. To secure the safety of robotic harvesting operation, obstacle detection and avoidance systems by a 3D LIDAR and a stereo camera are developed. In order to evaluate performance of these systems, field test was conducted in a rice paddy field. Test results indicated that the autonomous combine can harvest rice crop safely while avoiding obstacle and human being.
