Inventors include Dr. Satybhan Singh; Dr. Virendra Singh; Dr. Monu Kumar; Dr. Ramesh Pal; Dr. Aditya Narayan Chaubey; and Dr. Abhishek Tiwari.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The present invention provides an autonomous agricultural robot system for precision weed detection and selective herbicide application. The system comprises a mobile platform equipped with multi-spectral sensor arrays including RGB cameras, near- infrared sensors, and LiDAR for comprehensive plant detection. Advanced machine learning algorithms analyze sensor data to distinguish between crops and weeds with over 95% accuracy. The precision spraying system delivers herbicide with sub-2-centimeter accuracy exclusively to identified weed locations while preserving crop plants. GPS-based navigation with RTK correction enables autonomous field operation with centimeter-level positioning. The integrated system reduces herbicide usage by up to 95% compared to conventional broadcast applications while maintaining effective weed control. Data logging capabilities provide comprehensive field analytics and treatment verification for optimized agricultural management. The modular architecture supports scalability across different crop types and field conditions, representing a significant advancement in sustainable precision agriculture technology.
