Abstract: A vehicle for automated lawn chemical treatment application is described. A vehicle that is configured to traverse a lawn or other area is provided that includes a plurality of container receptacles; a plurality of containers configured to be detachably attached to the container receptacles; a mixing reservoir fluidly connected to the containers; and processing circuitry configured to determine a mixing formula and selectively direct portions of liquid from the plurality of containers into the mixing reservoir in accordance with the mixing formula such that the portions of the liquid are mixed, thereby generating a treatment solution in accordance with the mixing formula, and disperse the treatment solution using an applicator of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for automated lawn chemical treatment application are described. The system comprises a station having a series of concentrated chemicals capable of being mixed and diluted in a reservoir having a water supply to form a specialty formula and a craft which receives the specialty formula for dispersal. Various features of the craft enable a systematic treatment of various plants and/or areas of a law to reduce or eliminate the growth of unwanted plants while promoting the growth of desired plants. These may include the addition of imaging sensors and artificial intelligence to recognize unwanted plants versus desirable plants and develop means to inhibit or grow each over a specified period. A homeowner's ability to consistently treat plants with low-volumes of chemical treatments is enhanced, thus limiting environmental effects and reducing chemical waste.
