Abstract: A robotic sprayer for optimizing application of crop related materials, comprising one or more imaging sensors, one or more nozzles configured for spraying one or more materials, one or more actuators configured for moving the one or more nozzles, and one or more controllers. The controller(s) is configured for receiving imagery data captured by the imaging sensor(s) depicting one or more plants, computing a foliage model modeling a foliage of the plant(s) based on analysis of the imagery data, identifying, based on analysis of the foliage model, one or more access courses to one or more underlying parts of the plant(s) which are at least partially covered by the foliage, operating the actuator(s) to adjust in real-time a position of the nozzle(s) according to the access course(s), and operating the nozzle(s) to spray the material(s) over the underlying parts.
