OBSTRUCTION AND REMOTE ATTRIBUTE MONITORING DURING AN AGRICULTURAL OPERATION

An agricultural system includes: a sensor system disposed on a drone communicably coupled to and remotely positionable from an agricultural work machine at a worksite; one or more processors; and memory storing instructions, executable by the one or more processors. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: identify one or more attributes to be detected; identify one or more characteristics of an obstruction at the worksite; identify, based on the one or more characteristics of the obstruction, a monitoring location at which to position the drone to detect the one or more attributes; and control the drone to travel to the monitoring location to detect, with the sensor system, the one or more attributes and generate sensor data indicative of the one or more attributes.
