Intelligent sprinkler irrigation system

This invention describes a smart sprinkler system that can water oddly shaped areas very precisely. It works by having a 'teach mode' where a user manually guides the sprinkler head to learn the exact movements and water flow needed for a specific area. The system then records these settings to automatically replicate the precise watering pattern.

Why it matters: Filed before modern embedded systems and precise, low-cost sensors were widely available. The 'teach mode' and precise sprinkler head control are now much more feasible and robust due to advances in microcontrollers and motor control technology.
