Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a plant care system that is capable of autonomously moving to individual plants, assessing their health and environmental conditions through visual and analysis, determining specific needs or deficiencies, and administering tailored corrective actions such as emitting beneficial audio frequencies and dispensing appropriate nutrients.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Plant care in nurseries is vital as young plants require precise conditions for optimal growth and health. High density increases vulnerability to disease and pests. Consistent watering, feeding, and protection ensure plants develop vigorously, preventing losses and producing healthy stock ready for sale or planting elsewhere. Plant care in nurseries is often labor-intensive and time-consuming across large areas. Ensuring consistent watering, feeding, and monitoring for every plant is challenging. Detecting early signs of stress, pests, or nutrient deficiencies manually is difficult, leading to potential resource waste and uneven plant quality.
[0003] Traditionally, plant care in nurseries heavily utilizes basic tools like hoses, sprinklers, manual fertilizer spreaders, and handheld sprayers, relying on human labor and judgment. The core problem with these methods, concerning automation, is their fundamental manual operation. They lack integrated sensing, data collection, and decision-making capabilities. This manual approach leads to inconsistencies in watering and feeding, difficulty in precisely targeting treatments, poor record-keeping of individual plant care, and overall inefficiency and variability in plant quality compared to automated systems designed for precision control and data feedback.
[0004] US6243986B1 discloses about a plant care system comprising a root feeding spike gravity fed by either a line from a reservoir or by individual economical water bottles. Water, per se, or with additives such as fertilizer and pesticide are fed by gravity to the plant roots. A kit contains the feeding spike with a valved cover, a tapper, and feeding lines.
[0005] US3821863A discloses about a plant irrigating and feeding control device in several embodiments of invention. In both forms a tapered container adapted to be easily pushed into the ground is subdivided into two compartments, a top compartment containing a source of ground fertilizer and serving to meter the fertilizer outflow as a protection against excess fertilization, and a bottom compartment containing additional plant nutrients. A sleeve disposed about the top compartment having apertures therein adapted for partical alignment with apertures in the compartment provides the desired fertilization control. In both forms of invention, the top and bottom compartments serve as a source of air to supply oxygen to the soil containing the roots of plants nourished thereby.
[0006] Conventionally, many systems have been developed for plant care in nursery. However, these systems lack in real-time assessment of plant and soil, automated data analysis for precise diagnosis of plant and soil, automated decision-making for tailored care strategies, mobility to reach individual plants autonomously, and the also lacks in providing diverse, targeted treatments such as specific audio tones or variable additive dispensing based on identified needs.
[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that is capable of maneuvering towards plants in nursery, integrated sensing and analysis for precise plant and soil assessment, automated decision-making for tailored care strategies, and automated delivery of diverse, targeted treatments of plant and soil.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
[0009] An object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of independently navigating and accessing specific locations of individual plants within a horticultural or nursery setting to deliver care.
[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of gathering and comprehensive analysis functions for acquiring vital data related to the plant's visual state and its surrounding environmental conditions as required.
[0011] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that enables autonomous identification of specific plant care needs and potential deficiencies based directly upon the comprehensive analysis results obtained from collected environmental and plant data.
[0012] Yet, another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of delivering various specific care treatments precisely tailored to address identified plant needs effectively.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.
[0022] The present invention relates to a plant care system that is capable of navigating autonomously to plants, assessing their health and environmental conditions, and delivering tailored treatments based on identified needs.
[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a plant care system is illustrated, comprising, a housing 101 having four motorised omnidirectional wheels 102 attached underneath the housing 101 by means of telescopic rods 103, an artificial intelligence based camera 104 installed with the housing 101, a plurality of speakers 105 mounted on the housing 101 by means of ball and socket joints 106, a plurality of soundproof panels 107 is attached within the housing 101 by means of cascading sliders 108, the panels 107 are connected with the sliders 108 by means of hinges 109, an inspection unit 110 attached with the housing 101 by means of an articulated L-shaped telescopic link 111, the inspection unit 110 comprise an enclosure 110a, a plurality of pneumatic pins 110b installed over the enclosure 110a, a multi-section chamber 112 provided within the housing 101 and an articulated nozzle 113 provided over the housing 101 by means of telescopic bars 114 attached on sliding units 115 arranged along lateral surface of the housing 101.
[0024] The system disclosed herein includes a cuboidal housing 101 that is developed to be positioned in a nursery. The housing 101 herein incorporates all the components of the system required for optimize plant growth within nurseries and enhance overall plant development.
[0025] An artificial intelligence based camera 104 mounted on the housing 101 is activated by a control unit which includes but not limited to, such as a microcontroller, to capture images of plants in a nursery. The microcontroller associated with the system is pre-fed to detect the signal and actuate/activate the required component of the system. The microcontroller used herein is pre-fed using artificial intelligence and machine learning protocols to coordinate the working of the system.
[0026] The camera 104 comprises of an image capturing module including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in surrounding areas, and the captured images are stored within a memory of the camera 104 in the form of optical data. The camera 104 also comprises of a processor that is encrypted with artificial intelligence protocols and is configured with an identification module, such that the processor processes this optical data, essentially analyzing the captured images, and utilizes the identification module to identify the type of plant being captured and extracts the required data from the images, such as the plant's type and position. The extracted data, which is now meaningful information about the plants, is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are then transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes this received data and determines actions such as confirming the specific type of plant identified, assessing its health status based on visual cues, pinpointing its location, and selecting appropriate audio tones.
[0027] Upon pinpointing the location of the identified plant, the microcontroller actuates four motorised omnidirectional wheels 102 installed underneath the housing 101 by means of telescopic rods 103 to move the housing 101 toward the identified plant in order to position the housing 101 near the identified plant. The omnidirectional wheels 102 consist of a wheel connected to a motor via a shaft and is engineered to allow movement in any direction without altering the housing’s orientation, providing exceptional maneuverability. When the microcontroller actuates the wheels 102, the motor rotates either clockwise or counter-clockwise, transferring motion through the shaft to the wheel. This enables the housing 101 to move smoothly in any direction, making these wheels 102 highly effective for positioning the housing 101 near the identified plant.
[0028] Once the housing 101 is positioned near the plant as detected via the camera 104, the microcontroller actuates the telescopic rods 103 to align the housing 101 the plant. The telescopic rods 103 are linked to a pneumatic unit, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the rods 103. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the rods 103 and due to applied pressure the rods 103 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the telescopic rods 103 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the rods 103 in order to the housing 101 with the plant.
[0029] Once the housing 101 is aligned with the plant, the microcontroller accesses specific data stored in a database that is linked with the microcontroller such as how long each plant has been in the nursery, which plants require music to promote their growth, the specific frequency at which music is to be played for each plant, and the type of music suitable for different plant species, among other relevant details, for correlating plant types with beneficial audio frequencies or patterns for plant growth. The microcontroller then sends digital audio signals to the multiple speakers 105 (preferably in range 4-6) arranged with the housing 101 to convert these digital signals into sound waves and emit a set of tones conducive to the growth of the plant. These speakers 105 work by converting this digital signal into mechanical motion that generates sound. Each speaker consists of a diaphragm (cone) attached to a coil-shaped wire known as a voice coil, positioned between two magnets. When the electrical signal from the microcontroller passes through the voice coil, it creates a varying magnetic field that interacts with the static magnetic field of the magnets, causing the voice coil and the attached diaphragm to move rapidly back and forth. This movement of the diaphragm pushes and pulls the surrounding air, thereby creating the intended sound waves, just like the electrical signal dictates.
[0030] To maximize the impact and ensure these tones reach the intended target plant, the microcontroller actuates ball and socket joints 106 installed with each of the multiple speakers 105 to enable them to orient themselves precisely towards the plant. The ball and socket joints 106 provide rotation to the speaker assembly, aiding the speaker to turn at a required angle. The ball and socket joint is a coupling consisting of a ball joint securely locked within a socket joint, where the ball joint is able to move in a 360-degree rotation within the socket, thus providing the required rotational motion to the speaker. This rotational capability is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is actuated by the microcontroller, thus providing multidirectional movement to the speaker assembly, allowing for accurate aiming of the growth-conducive tones.
[0031] In conjunction with the speaker, the microcontroller actuates multiple soundproof panels 107 (preferably in range 4-6), installed within the housing 101 using cascading sliders 108, to guide and localize the emitted tone towards the plant. These panels 107 are adjusted to create a focused sonic field directed specifically at the identified plant, ensuring the effective delivery of the growth-conducive tones. The cascading sliders 108 operates by using a series of interconnected sliders 108 that move in a controlled sequential manner to extend the panels 107 outwards. When activated by the microcontroller, it sends an electrical signal to the first slider. This signal triggers a motor or actuator, typically a stepper motor or servo motor, which is connected to the first slider. The motor initiates the movement of the first slider along its designated track or rail, thus the first slider begins to move, triggering the next slider in the sequence, thus cascading the motion progressively. Each slider is developed to smoothly slide over the previous one for ensuring that the panels 107 moves with precision and stability. As the slider assembly extends, the panels 107 are deployed to guide and localize the the emitted tone in the direction of the plant.
[0032] The panels 107 are configured with the sliders 108 via a hinges 109 that are actuated by the microcontroller to adjust the panels 107 orientation for guiding the emitted tones towards the plant. The hinges 109 comprise of a pair of leaf that is screwed with the surfaces of the panels 107. The leafs are connected with each other by means of a cylindrical member integrated with a shaft coupled with a DC (Direct Current) motor to provide required movement to the hinge. The rotation of the shaft in clockwise and anti-clockwise aids in opening and closing of the hinge respectively. Hence the microcontroller actuates the hinge that in turn provides movement to the panels 107 for efficiently guiding the emitted tone towards the targeted plant.
[0033] Concurrently with emitting tones towards the plant, the microcontroller actuates an articulated L-shaped telescopic link 111 installed with the housing 101 to position an inspection unit 110 configured with the link 111 for detecting the plant's parameters. The extension/retraction of the link 111 is regulated by the microcontroller by in the same manner as the telescopic rods 103, by employing the pneumatic unit, for accurate positioning of the inspection unit 110 towards the plant.
[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, once the inspection unit 110 is positioned over the plant then the microcontroller activates a laser sensor integrated with the inspection unit 110 to detect distance of the unit relative to the soil. The laser sensor consists of an emitter and receiver, and works on the principle of measuring the time delay between the laser beam to travel to the soil and back. The laser sensor emits a light towards the soil and when the laser beam hits the soil, the beam reflects back towards the receiver of the sensor. Upon detection of reflected beam by the sensor, the sensor precisely measures the time taken for the laser beam to travel to and back from the soil. The sensor then calculates the time taken by the reflected beam to reach the receiver of the sensor, based on which, the calculated the distance of the unit from the soil is then converted into electrical signal, in the form of current, and send to the microcontroller. Upon receiving the signals, the microcontroller processes the received signal and determines the distance between the unit and soil.
[0035] Upon detection of the distance between the inspection unit 110 and the soil, the microcontroller controls the movement of the link 111 to position the inspection unit 110 in contact with the soil. Once the inspection unit 110 is positioned in contact with the soil, the microcontroller activates the inspection unit 110 to detect the plant's parameters such as soil moisture, soil temperature, soil nutrients and pH of the soil. The inspection unit 110 comprise an enclosure 110a configured with a soil moisture sensor to detect moisture content of the soil, soil temperature sensor to detect temperature of the soil, NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) sensor to detect soil nutrients, pH sensor to detect pH of the soil. To detect these parameters, the microcontroller actuates multiple pneumatic pins 110b installed over the enclosure 110a to dig into the soil for sensing.
[0036] The extension/ retraction of the pins 110b is regulated by the microcontroller by in the same manner as the telescopic rods 103, by employing the pneumatic unit, for digging into the soil. Once the soil is dig, the inspection unit 110 activates these sensors one by one to detect these parameters such as soil moisture, soil temperature, soil nutrients and pH of the soil. The unit is housed within the protective enclosure 110a that is weather-resistant and durable, ensuring that the sensors maintain proper contact with the soil while being shielded from environmental damage. The soil moisture sensor, often capacitive or resistive, measures the water content in the soil by detecting changes in the dielectric constant. The soil temperature sensor, usually a thermistor or resistance temperature detector (RTD), provides accurate readings of the soil’s thermal conditions, which influence seed germination and nutrient availability. The NPK sensor, based on ion-selective electrodes or optical detection methods, measures the concentration of essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, providing insight into the soil's fertility status. The pH sensor, typically is using a glass electrode, determines the acidity or alkalinity of the soil, which affects nutrient uptake by plants. These sensors are connected to the microcontroller that collects, processes, and compares the detected parameters with predefined threshold values stored in the database. In case the detected parameters fall below the threshold values, then the microcontroller determines the necessary irrigation, fertilization, and soil management actions required to address these deficiencies and restore optimal soil conditions for the plant.
[0037] For restoring the deficiencies detected in the soil and plants, the microcontroller actuates multiple articulated nozzles 113 connected with each section of a multi-section chamber 112 storing the additives, to dispense the appropriate additives onto the plants to overcome the deficiencies. The nozzle 113 works by utilizing electrical energy (to power a pump) to create a controlled flow pattern, primarily by converting the pressure energy of a fluid into kinetic energy, which increases the fluid's velocity to allow it to be effectively sprayed or delivered in a specific pattern. Upon actuation of the nozzle 113 by the microcontroller, an electric motor or pump pressurizes the incoming additive solution, increasing its pressure significantly. This high pressure enables the solution to be dispensed with force or in a fine spray pattern onto the plant or soil, thereby delivering the necessary nutrients or moisture to address the detected deficiencies.
[0038] To ensure efficient additive dispensing, the microcontroller actuates telescopic bars 114 configured with each of the nozzle 113 to position them towards the plant for enabling precise aiming. The extension/retraction of the bars 114 is regulated by the microcontroller by in the same manner as the telescopic rods 103, by employing the pneumatic unit, for positioning the nozzle 113 towards the soil. In synchronization, the microcontroller actuates multiple sliding units 115 arranged in between the bar and the housing 101 to align the nozzle 113 with the plant.
[0039] The sliding units 115 consists of a pair of sliding rails fabricated with grooves in which the wheel of a slider is positioned that is further connected with a bi-directional motor via a shaft. The microcontroller actuates the bi-directional motor to rotate in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction that aids in the rotation of the shaft, wherein the shaft converts the electrical energy into rotational energy for allowing movement of the wheel to translate over the sliding rail by a firm grip on the grooves. The movement of the sliding units 115 results in the translation of the bar in order to position the nozzle 113 perfectly over the soil for proper dispensing of the additives.
[0040] In addition, an analysis module is configured with and activated by the microcontroller, to track the tone being emitted throughout the period to determine how specific tones correlate with plant growth, thereby enabling the selection of the most suitable tone for optimized plant growth. The analysis module receives and processes multiple data streams, including direct information from the microcontroller regarding the specific tone profile, frequency, and duration of the audio being commanded for emission. The module incorporates a data logging component responsible for tracking and recording this audio treatment history over time. This audio log is analyzed in conjunction with visual data inputs received from the camera 104, which the module processes to monitor the plant's growth and health status. Utilizing dedicated processing capabilities and analytical protocols, the module performs correlation analysis between the applied tone data and the observed changes in the plant's development. This allows the module to statistically determine the impact of specific tones on growth parameters. Based on the results of this correlation, the module selects suitable tone which is most suitable for achieving optimized growth for that particular plant type, informing future tone emission decisions by the microcontroller.
[0041] A communication unit is installed with the housing 101 that is activated by the microcontroller to establish a wireless connection, which is linked with the microcontroller for establishing a wireless connection between the microcontroller and a computing unit (includes, but not limited to smartphone, tablet or laptop) and inbuilt with a user-interface that is accessed by the user, to transmit the visuals of the plant captured by the camera 104 to the user for enabling remote monitoring, along with the analysis of the analysis module.
[0042] The communication module used herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication module used herein is preferably a Wi-Fi module that is a hardware component that enables the microcontroller to connect wirelessly with the computing unit. The Wi-Fi module works by utilizing radio waves to transmit and receive data over short distances. The core functionality relies on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which define the protocols for wireless local area networking (WLAN). Once connected, the module allows the microcontroller to send and receive data through data packets.
[0043] Lastly, a battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the system to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrode named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the system.
[0044] The present invention work best in the following manner, where the housing 101 is positioned in the nursery for optimizing plant growth in nurseries. The camera 104 is activated by the control unit such as the microcontroller to capture and analyses the plant images to identify type, location, and health. Based on the analysis, the microcontroller actuates the motorized omnidirectional wheels 102 and telescopic rods 103 is to position and align the housing 101 with the identified plant. The speakers 105 mounted on the ball and socket joints 106 are actuated by the microcontroller to emit growth-conducive tones directed at the plant. The soundproof panels 107 mounted on cascading sliders 108 and hinges 109 are used to localize the emitted tone. Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates the L-shaped telescopic link 111 and positions the inspection unit 110, equipped with the laser sensor and multiple sensors (moisture, temperature, NPK, and pH), for soil analysis. The pneumatic pins 110b ensure proper sensor insertion. Upon detecting deficiencies, the microcontroller actuates the articulated nozzles 113 linked to the multi-section chamber 112 storing additives for dispensing nutrients via the nozzles 113. The orientation of the nozzles 113 is adjusted using the ball and socket joints 106 for perfect aiming. The analysis module processes tone data and plant growth trends to refine tone selection. The communication unit allows wireless data transfer and remote plant monitoring via the user-interface on the computing unit for enabling efficient monitoring and plant-specific growth optimization.
