Recently, farm machinery that have improved operational convenience have developed, with the increase in the elderly and female population. This research is related to self-propelled harvester with an electronic controller, and develops a safety module to prevent collision and rollover accidents. In order to prevent collisions, various sensors such as a camera and a radar can be used. However, in this study, we selected four types of sensors that are relatively inexpensive and conducted obstacle detection performance tests. We finally selected one sensor and applied it to the first prototype. We determined the risk of overturning by monitoring the slope of the harvester using an IMU sensor. The prototype met the minimum required performance of the self-propelled harvester in outdoor environments.
