  • Patent number: 11963473
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to computer vision and automation to autonomously identify and deliver for application a treatment to an object among other objects, data science and data analysis, including machine learning, deep learning, and other disciplines of computer-based artificial intelligence to facilitate identification and treatment of objects, and robotics and mobility technologies to navigate a delivery system, more specifically, to an agricultural delivery system configured to identify and apply, for example, an agricultural treatment to an identified agricultural object. In some examples, a method may include, receiving data representing a policy specifying a type of action for an agricultural object, selecting an emitter with which to perform a type of action for the agricultural object as one of one or more classified subsets, and configuring the agricultural projectile delivery system to activate an emitter to propel an agricultural projectile to intercept the agricultural object.

  • Publication number: 20240074340
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to computer vision and automation to autonomously survey an agricultural environment. In some examples, a system can receive sensor data of a geographic boundary from one or more sensors onboard of the agricultural observation system, detect a plurality of external dynamic objects, a plurality of external static objects, one or more agricultural objects, or a combination thereof from the sensor data, determine a position of a component of the agricultural observation system relative to the plurality of external dynamic objects, the plurality of external static objects, the one or more agricultural objects, or a combination thereof, and generate a local map, in real time, via one or more processing units.
