Robotic platform and method for performing multiple functions in agricultural systems

This is a small robot designed to drive itself through crop rows in an agricultural field. Its primary function, as described in the remaining claims, is to monitor the health and conditions of planted crops using an optical sensor. While the original concept included tasks like fertilizing or seeding, the invention as claimed focuses specifically on autonomous navigation and plant monitoring.

Why it matters: Since 2017, machine learning for interpreting optical sensor data and autonomous navigation have both advanced significantly, making precise crop monitoring more feasible and robust.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAutonomous navigation software, custom vehicle, optical sensor
