Publication number: 20210259172Abstract: A plumbing system and water transport method. The system includes a global water source, a one way water transport mechanism, a growing tray, and a local buffer. The local buffer separates the global water source and the growing tray to prevent cross-contamination of water. The local buffer also continuously provides water to the growing tray on demand without the need for filtering or dumping of used or excess water. This results in low flow, efficient water transport.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: Hippo Harvest Inc.Inventors: Wim Meeussen, Eitan Marder-Eppstein, Alexander Boenig

Publication number: 20210259170Abstract: A growspace automation system and method. The system includes a grow space with localization structures and a mobile robot. The mobile robot comprises sensors, a mobility mechanism, and a plurality of mobility modules. The mobile robot is configured to automate growspace processes, such as transport, watering, sensing, or cleaning.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: Hippo Harvest Inc.Inventors: Eitan Marder-Eppstein, Wim Meeussen, Alexander Boenig

Publication number: 20210259160Abstract: A grow system. The system includes growing plants in grow modules that are individually moveable. The plants grow in trays where roots never touch the water supply. The plumbing to the grow modules is a low flow, one way flow continual drip system that is hands free. A mobile robot can navigate around a growspace, bring any grow module from one location to another, and perform growspace operations. The growspace is a control space with data source zones and a control space manager. The control space manager can collect data and control different variables across different data source zones in order to determine optimal policies and conditions for data source growth and generation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: Hippo Harvest Inc.Inventors: Eitan Marder-Eppstein, Wim Meeussen, Alexander Boenig
