Automated irrigation system adjusting to watering errors determined based on look-ahead and look-behind sensor data to reduce water usage and increase agricultural crop yield

This invention describes an automated irrigation system that moves across a field, spraying water through nozzles. A central controller uses sensors to look ahead at unwatered areas and also reviews past watering data from those same spots to predict how much water to apply. After watering, it checks for moisture errors and updates its prediction model. The system also adjusts its speed and nozzle timing to ensure even watering without all nozzles turning off simultaneously.

Why it matters: Robust real-time field deployment of this complex system remains challenging.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMovable structure, sensors, predictive model software, control logic
