MANUALLY OPERATED MACHINE-BASED AUTOMATIC OPERATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

The present invention provides a manually operated machine-based automatic operation apparatus and a control method therefor. The apparatus comprises: a manually operated machine, a sensing mechanism, a movement mechanism, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism performs fitting of an enclosed area of any shape on the basis of path information and environmental information of the manually operated machine in a manual mode, plans an automatic operation path within the enclosed area, and uses the boundary of the enclosed area as a safety boundary. The movement mechanism moves according to the automatic operation path to drive the manually operated machine to automatically operate within the safety boundary until the operation is completed. In the present invention, the manually operated machine is modified so that the manually operated machine has a sensing capability, a moving capability, and a decision-making capability, and the manually operated machine is provided with an autonomous operation capabil
