发明名称 MODULAR PRECISION AGRICULTURE SYSTEM
摘要 A modular system includes a hub and a set of modules removably coupled to the hub. The modules are physically coupled to the frame relative to each other so that each module can operate with respect to a different row of a field. An individual module includes a sensor for capturing field measurement data of individual plants along a row as the modular system moves through the geographic region. An individual module further includes a treatment mechanism for applying a treatment to the individual plants of the row based on the field measurement data before the modular system passes by the individual plants. An individual module further includes a computing device that determines the treatment based on the field measurement data and communicates data to the hub. The hub is communicatively coupled to the modules, so that it may exchange data between the modules and with a remote computing system.

主权项 1. A modular system comprising: a frame physically coupled to a drive mechanism moving the modular system through a geographic region including a plurality of rows of plants; a plurality of modules physically coupled to the frame, the modules physically coupled relative to each other so that each module can operate with respect to a different one of the rows, wherein each module comprises: a sensor for capturing field measurement data of individual plants along one of the rows as the modular system moves through the geographic region;a treatment mechanism for applying a treatment to the individual plants of the row based on the field measurement data before the modular system passes by the individual plants; anda computing device configured to determine the treatment based on the field measurement data and communicate the field measurement data and the treatment to the hub; and a hub physically coupled to the frame, the hub comprising: a module communications hub communicatively coupled to the computing devices of the modules to exchange data with the modules.
