  • Watering robot and associated watering system
    Patent number: 11910760
    Abstract: A watering system (100) includes a watering robot (102). The watering robot (102) further includes an irrigation controller (110) configured to operate within a region (114). A connector portion (106) is coupled to the body (104), and is adapted to couple with the one or more water supplying units (116) to receive water therefrom. The watering system (100) is characterized in that a sensor (130) of the watering robot (102) detects the one more water supplying units (116) to selectively integrates therewith. An actuator (140) of the watering robot (102) at least partially lifts up the watering robot (102) with respect to a ground surface (120) of the region (114). The watering robot (102) automatically couples with the one or more water supplying units (116) through the connector portion (106), and the actuator (140) at least partially lifts up the watering robot (102) with respect to the ground surface (120).
