Apparatus and method for autonomous agriculture inventory management

This invention describes an automated indoor farming system that uses racks with tracks where multiple plant trays can slide along. These trays are designed to link together using specific hook-shaped connectors, allowing them to be moved and manipulated as a connected unit by a robotic carriage. The trays can either hold plants or house the necessary electronic and mechanical equipment for the farm.

Why it matters: Filed in 2018, the cost and capability of robotics and AI for vision-based plant monitoring have significantly improved, making fully autonomous agricultural systems more practical and efficient to implement today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotics, control software, custom tray mechanics
