Modular precision agriculture system

This invention describes a smart farming machine that moves through crop rows. It has several independent sections, each focusing on a single row. Each section uses sensors to check individual plants, then immediately applies a specific treatment, like fertilizer or pesticide, to that plant *before* the machine moves past it. The sections can also share information with each other and a central unit to coordinate their actions, with the claims specifically highlighting that one section can use data or treatment decisions from another section to decide its own treatment.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in edge computing and AI for real-time image analysis and decision-making. The ability to process sensor data on-device and coordinate treatments across modules in real-time is now more feasible and efficient.
