Autonomous robot platform for pest identification and control

This is a self-driving robot designed to move through fields, identify crop pests, and then control them. It uses artificial intelligence to navigate and make decisions, processing information from GPS, high-precision location data, and multiple cameras. The robot has a movable arm equipped with a 360-degree camera and either a laser or a suction pump to target and eliminate pests like eggs, larvae, caterpillars, or adult insects, and can also detect weeds and plant growth stages.

Why it matters: Filed before the rapid advancements in efficient deep learning models and specialized edge AI hardware. The embedded AI for real-time pest identification and navigation is now significantly more powerful and practical to deploy on a mobile robot platform.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotics, sensor fusion, deep learning, embedded systems
