I know this is a bit off topic, but developing standard open source design’s for mechanical power, electrical power and data, and hydraulic power implement coupling systems would be great. The gangl docking system looks pretty good (if you dont know, youtube will tell you). I believe they have a patent, but i dont know what it does and doesn’t cover.
I’m using a triangle quick hitch on my autonomous tractor project because i think it is mechanically appropriate for automation, and is compatible with my existing tractor attachments. I would like to settle on a standard heavy duty electrical connection that i could incorporate into the latch mechanism, which might someday be used for autonomous battery changing or providing power to the attachment. I made a video for anyone who might know what kind of socket i should get.
