FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates generally to automation and precise work improve by agricultural robot. The present invention more particularly invention enable an agricultural robot system and method of robotic harvesting, pruning, culling, weeding, measuring and managing of agricultural crops. Specifically to the use of robotic armatures, a computer or artificial intelligence system that can sense and decide before acting on the work object, alerting a human operator where intervention is required coupled with, machine vision, laser rastering, radar, infrared, ultrasound, touch or chemical sensing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The world population is growing, and especially as more people adapt Western diet standards, will continue to consume ever growing amounts of foods. Modern farming has made tremendous strides forward in its ability to feed this ever increasing world population. Advances in genetics, chemical engineering, fertilization, soil correction and equipment engineering have revolutionized crop production systems.

Modern farming in every aspect today is completely technology driven. As a result, even with monumental scaling in demand the cost of food has drastically declined, even though today fewer people are employed in food production then any time in history. However, there is a clear world-wide demand-a want and a need-for an ever cheaper, ever larger food supply. Some people even call for a second green revolution to meet the demand.

Planting, tending and harvesting a crop requires both a lot of power and a range of tools, equipment and machinery. These tasks also require trained and skilled operators of this equipment (although they are not always available). Mechanization of farming has allowed an increase to the area that can be planted and increases in yields, mainly due to the precision and the speed with which the crop husbandry tasks can be accomplished. As a result, most farmers in developing countries experience a greater annual expenditure on farm power inputs than on fertilizer, seeds or agrochemicals.

Crop production systems have evolved rapidly over the past century and have resulted in significantly increased yields. But that has come at a cost. Many times the crop production systems have created undesirable environmental side-effects. Soil degradation and erosion, excessive use of farm power inputs, pollution from chemical and organic fertilizers and other agrochemicals, and a loss of bio-diversity are just a few of the examples that have been highlighted over recent years. Furthermore, not only were some crop production systems found to be unsustainable in an environmental sense, in some locations they were also unsustainable in an economic sense, especially when you take into account the complete reliance on the use of carbon fuels whose price can spike.

Agriculture is one industry with traditionally low profit margins and high manual labor costs. In particular, harvesting can be expensive. For some crops, such as tree fruit, harvesting labor represents the growers' single largest expense, up to 50% of total crop cost. Increasing labor costs and labor shortages threaten the economic viability of many farms. Therefore, replacing manual labor with robots would be extremely beneficial for harvesting. Additional benefits could be obtained through automating other tasks currently done manually such as pruning, culling, thinning, spraying, weeding, measuring and managing of agricultural crops.

With this background of farm mechanization and its various social, economic and environmental impacts, we present automated farming as a sustainable and economic alternative to current farming systems.

People have attempted to develop mechanical pickers to pick whole fruits for years. For example, Pellenc, a French manufacturer, built a prototype orange picker, but abandoned the project. One common failure mode for these picking systems was that they could not locate fruit located on the inside of the tree that cannot be seen from outside the canopy. To date, no equipment exists that can pick fresh fruits and vegetables efficiently enough to compete with human labor in cost or yield. Furthermore, machines have been used in an attempt to hedge grape vines. Hedging grape vines provides a rough cut to the vines that blindly shapes the vines. The final pruning of the canes on the grape vines is non-trivial and is best performed using a holistic view of the grape vine and planning before pruning is attempted. To date, no known machines are configured to intelligently perform the final pruning of grape vines. Known final pruning methods utilize humans operating pruning devices by hand. In addition, there are no known systems that scout and pre-plan harvesting, pruning, culling or other agricultural functions. Similarly to harvesting and pruning, automating other tasks such as thinning, spraying, culling, weeding, measuring and managing of agricultural crops can lower costs and increase consistency and quality.

Automated farming is an alternative to current farm mechanization that will allow us to implement a farming model that drastically optimizes productivity in a sustainable and economic manner. It also allows existing large scale monoculture operations to move to more ecological and economical viable models while significantly increasing yields per hectare. There is a clear need to plant, treat and harvest plants on an individual basis. Recent developments in computer processing, database and positioning technology have made this possible, but the current large-scale, brute-force, heavy farm machinery prevents us from doing so. Automated farming, as described in this specification, steps away from this approach as it uses small, agile, light weight, energy efficient automated robotic equipment that flies to do the same job on a plant by plant basis that is currently being done by powerful ground equipment that weighs several tons and treats uniformly tens of hectares per hour. Automated farming uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are equipped with detachable implements and reservoirs and that we call "aerial farm robots." Automated farming uses high-precision GPS to autonomously perform crop dusting, planting, fertilizing and other field related farming or husbandry tasks. The subsystems for the control, refill, recharge and communication subsystems of the aerial farm robots are part of the overall automated farming system, and can autonomously handle most of the husbandry tasks on a farm. This system can, and we think will, replace traditional land- and air-based farming equipment. !0

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The principle embodiment of the present invention comprising An aerial farm robot is a semi autonomous multi- or single-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or hybrid airship-drone that can fly and execute at least some tasks autonomously using its built-in central processing unit (CPU) in conjunction with a series of sensors such as a gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer (compass), barometer, sonar, optical flow, energy consumption and voltage meter, and GPS module. These sensors provide motor inputs, height, pitch, roll, heading, position, attitude, high-precision absolute and relative location, obstacle detection, distance detection, speed control and digital wind speed. A hybrid airship-drone may include additional gas pressure and gas temperature sensors which provide information for dynamic gas pressure control in a gas-filled balloon in the hybrid airship-drone, which may include inflating and deflating the balloon due to payload weight change while doing crop dusting or other field jobs. Instructions for the tasks to be executed are sent via a wireless communication network to one or more aerial farm robots from a control system that provides an interactive interface to an operator that can input the tasks to be executed using a simple interface.

It is also to be understood that additional or alternative steps may be employed.

The main embodiment of the present invention Embodiments of the invention allow an agricultural robot device and method of harvesting, pruning, thinning, spraying culling, weeding, measuring and handling of agricultural vegetation. One approach for automated harvesting of sparkling culmination and veggies, pruning of vines, culling fruit, weeding, measuring and handling of agricultural sources, etc. Is to use a robotic comprising a gadget vision device containing cameras such as rugged solid-nation digital cameras. The cameras can be utilized to become aware of and find the fruit on each tree, points on a vine to prune, weeds round flowers. In addition, the cameras may be utilized in measuring agricultural parameters or otherwise resource in dealing with agricultural resources. The cameras can be coupled with a choosing gadget or other put into effect to allow perspectives all round and even in the plant while acting the selecting or favored agricultural characteristic. Autonomous robot(s) or semi-independent robot(s) coupled with a tractor, trailer, growth or any mixture thereof contain embodiments of the invention. In one embodiment of the discovery a robotic moves thru a discipline first to "map" the field to decide plant places, the number and length of fruit at the plant life and the approximate positions of the fruit on each plant. Alternatively, a robot might also map the cordons and canes of grape vines. In such a case, the map would include the area of each cordon, cane, and sucker in addition to the place and orientation of buds on every cane. The feature of the map is to allow the robot to make smart decisions and carry out obligations based totally on what the imaginative and prescient system or different connected sensors stumble on along side regulations or algorithms in the robots software. For example the robot can also pick to select most effective fruit meeting a positive size standards and might optimize the choosing order for those fruit. Or the robotic may also use the map of a grape vine in conjunction with policies embodied in its software to prune the vine to the eight excellent canes in line with cordon with 2 buds left on each of these canes. Alternatively, or further, the map can be used for different functions aside from practical choices by using the robotic. For instance, information from the map may be utilized by the grower to track crop performance and make sensible choices approximately while to harvest or when to prune. Other embodiments collect information applicable to thinning, spraying culling, weeding and crop management. A robot employed in those embodiments might also include a GPS or different sensor to simplify the mapping process. Once the map is whole for a field, the robot or every other robot or server can create an action plan that the robotic or another robot can then put in force typically via moving and the usage of actuators that can be set up on articulated hands. These challenge specific tools permit the robot to put in force an agricultural characteristic beneath the path of a processor gadget. An motion plan may additionally include operations and information specifying selecting, pruning, thinning, spraying, culling, measuring, or some other agricultural function or mixture thereof. Pre mapping and preplanning picking permits for green selecting and pre-mapping and preplanning for pruning permits for effective pruning. A map may additionally allow stepped forward farming with the aid of providing data even if that data isn't always acted on by means of every other purposeful robot. In the subsequent exemplary description numerous precise info are set forth as a way to provide a extra thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. It could be apparent, however, to an artisan of normal talent that the existing invention may be practiced with out incorporating all aspects of the specific information described herein. Any mathematical references made herein are approximations which could in some instances be various to any diploma that permits the discovery to accomplish the function for which it's far designed. In different times, particular features, portions, or measurements famous to the ones of normal talent in the artwork have now not been defined in detail in order now not to difficult to understand the discovery. Readers have to notice that even though examples of the discovery are set forth herein, the claims, and the overall scope of any equivalents, are what outline the metes and bounds of the invention. Agricultural elements as used herein pertain to fruit, vegetables, branches, flowers or timber, or another item observed in an agricultural subject.

Pre-mapping allows efficient choosing. A map can be created both just before harvesting or in advance inside the growing season. While navigating thru the grove and mapping, a scout robot can gather different beneficial information which include the circumstance, size, quantity, health and ripeness of the fruit, individual trees and the orchards as a whole. In every other embodiment, the scout robotic may be geared up with an expansion of sensors, such as however now not constrained to cameras, hydration sensors, spectral sensors or filters to sense adjustments in shade of the leaves, bark or fruit. Using a semi-independent or self reliant robot to carry those sensors may additionally allow the farmer to gather information more regularly, extra very well, and/or in a extra value-effective way than manually deploying sensors or using a highly-priced community of fixed sensors. In addition, the sensor wearing robot can also offer extra specified information than airborne or satellite set up sensors. The sensor facts may be saved in a database for later retrieval, evaluation and use. This database allows farmers to control their agricultural resource to improve their yields with the aid of changing the moves to be performed based on the measurements observed inside the sensor data. For instance, this information may be used to

As per the Figure 1, that disclose the working module of the present invention, wherein robot is configured by the solar panel as a input source of the device and charging to itself by using the battery using the provided controller. After that, as per feed automatic programming of the robot, working is start as per requirement or remote control manner. The next process is to run the DC motor as per feed the programming as per particular operations are to be performed in future. There is a multiple operations are shoes in Figure 1, like DC Speyer pump for sprayer, DC Motor movement, digging mechanism, plant and grass cutter etc...

The scouting robot can be deployed one or more instances during seasons or developing periods of interest. The records received by way of the scout, coupled with the historical statistics gathered for that tree and grove may be used to decide the entirety from top of the line pruning and culling techniques to scheduling the harvest. If an uncommon event, along with a frost, immoderate rain, drought, high winds, and so forth., occurs the scout can be sent thru the grove once more to replace the forecasts and picking, culling or pruning plans. The device and technique described herein accommodates several blessings.

1. Pre-mapping the tree and the fruit place allows the robot to create an motion plan comprising an green choosing plan. Without a selecting plan, it is unlikely the harvester can paintings correctly enough to justify its cost relative at hand hard work.

a) A robot that arbitrarily choices the first piece it sees may have to seriously backpedal to pick out all of the fruit. b) A robotic without a selecting plan might try to pick a specific piece from its modem-day area with the nearest arm regardless of whether or not a unique arm may want to choose it extra easily from a distinctive beginning place. c) A robot that doesn't have a complete choosing plan may not understand while it's far executed and could viable make use of time consuming "remaining seems" around the tree to confirm that it has now not ignored whatever. Without a picking plan, a robot harvester won't be capable of speedy flow a couple of picking fingers with out the fingers turning into entangled.

The other embodiment of the present invention comprising The operator's station can be replaced entirely by a wireless control system, with only rudimentary controls physically located on the main body of the robot. Display and control mechanism may be portable or wearable, enabling the machine to be controlled by an operator walking nearby, by means of various virtual interaction devices.

CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS AND SCOPE OF INVENTION The invention has wide application within agriculture, where many areas still require massive amounts of hand labor for operations from harvesting to tilling. I will not attempt a full accounting here, but will instead give several widely differing examples, which this invention can be applied to, as a sampling of how the machine could be used.

Examples Viticulture-Grapes around the world total over 19 million acres in production. On all of that acreage, several operations are only practical with manual labor. Harvesting of intact grape clusters, pruning of vines, tying of vines to trellises, and suckering (removal of unwanted growth) There is machinery available for pruning, as well as suckering, but it has serious problems in practical use.

Tomato culture-Tomato farms have a serious problem with manual labor requirements since it is not possible to remove weeds that grow in the crop line using either disc or spray techniques. This leads to large hand labor costs.

Organic vegetable farming-All such farming has a serious problem which is the amount of labor required in order to accomplish weed control. The labor involved in cultivation of such crops is a major factor preventing organic farming methods from being used more widely in agriculture.

This invention will have a very positive effect on many aspects of agriculture, as it is a basic enabling technology to allow larger farms to take up the labor-intensive practices of small organic farms on a practical basis. This represents a new capability that is not currently present. In sectors where large amounts of labor have not been possible to eliminate by any means whatsoever, the invention represents an opportunity to achieve very significant savings. This invention in its alternative form can make it possible for disabled people to take up a useful role in agriculture. With appropriate work using haptic and aural feedback devices, this invention could be operated by the blind also.
