  • Patent number: 12094199
    Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system that manage agricultural analysis in dynamic environments includes detecting a location of one or more agricultural objects of interest in image data of an environment captured by a sensor device during active navigation of the environment. An orientation and position of the sensor device with respect to the image data is determined. Each of the one or more agricultural objects of interest is analyzed based on the image data, the detected location of the one or more agricultural objects of interest, and the determined orientation and position of the sensor device to determine one or more characteristics about the one or more agricultural objects of interest. At least one action is initiated based on the determined one or more characteristics about the one or more agricultural objects of interest.

  • Patent number: 12001221
    Abstract: A method, system and non-transitory computer readable medium includes obtaining an electronic map of an agricultural field. One or more assignment instructions for each of a plurality of robotic systems in an assigned team are generated to optimize execution of a selected agricultural task with respect to at least one parameter based on the obtained electronic map, a number of the robotic systems in the team, and at least one capability of each of the robotic systems in the team. The robotic systems in the team are managed based on wireless transmission of the generated assignment instructions to the robotic systems.

  • Patent number: 11980116
    Abstract: A system and a method for automation of agricultural treatments. The system receives a set of instructions for the agricultural treatment. The set of instructions may include a type of agricultural treatment, and a target location. Further, the system may determine chemical parameters including a composition, a dosage, and a quantity of a chemical required for the agricultural treatment. Further, the system may be configured to navigate the robot to the target location. Further, the system may detect a spraying section based on the type of agricultural treatment. Subsequently, the system may determine a speed of the robot, a proximity of the robot to the spraying section, and a rate of chemical flow. Further, the system may be configured to control the robot. Finally, the system may be configured to dispense the chemical using a spraying equipment.

  • Patent number: 11829155
    Abstract: A system and a method for navigating a robot. The system receives a target location, a field map, sensor data from a robot, and a robot location. The sensor data may include image data and kinetic data. Further, the system may determine a navigation mode based on the sensor data and the robot location. The navigation mode may be one of an under-canopy mode, an out-row mode, and a recovery mode. Further, the system may generate a reference map comprising a path for the robot to follow to reach the target location based on the navigation mode, the field map, and the target location. Finally, the system may be configured to navigate the robot based on the reference map.
