  • Patent number: 11609159
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to systems, devices, and methods for agricultural sample collection. In one aspect, a sample collection system includes an aerial robotic platform, an arm assembly coupled to the aerial robotic platform and comprising an arm that extends away from the aerial robotic platform, and a sample collector connected to a distal end of the arm, wherein the sample collector is configured to selectively remove one or more samples of agricultural material from a plant to be analyzed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2023
    Assignee: The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania
    Inventors: Daniel Orol, Lukas Vacek, Delaney Vanessa Kaufman, Jnaneshwar Das, R. Vijay Kumar
  • Patent number: 10395115
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to systems, devices, and methods for data-driven precision agriculture through close-range remote sensing with a versatile imaging system. This imaging system can be deployed onboard low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and/or carried by human scouts. Additionally, the present technology stack can include methods for extracting actionable intelligence from the rich datasets acquired by the imaging system, as well as visualization techniques for efficient analysis of the derived data products. In this way, the present systems and methods can help specialty crop growers reduce costs, save resources, and optimize crop yield.
