INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18455628 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that predicts the scattering range of a chemical to be sprayed onto a field by a first unmanned aircraft. If it is determined that the chemical will scatter near the field, the apparatus controls the three-dimensional position or travel route of a second unmanned aircraft to prevent the scattering of the chemical near the field due to downwash.
- Predicts scattering range of chemical to be sprayed onto a field by a first unmanned aircraft
- Controls position or route of a second unmanned aircraft to prevent scattering of chemical near the field
- Utilizes downwash of the second unmanned aircraft to prevent scattering of the chemical
---
- Potential Applications
- Precision agriculture for targeted chemical spraying
- Environmental protection by minimizing chemical drift
- Problems Solved
- Minimizes chemical drift and contamination of surrounding areas
- Improves efficiency and accuracy of chemical spraying on fields
- Benefits
- Reduces environmental impact of chemical spraying
- Increases precision and effectiveness of agricultural practices
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to predict a scattering range of a chemical to be sprayed onto a field by a first unmanned aircraft and control, in a case in which it is determined that the chemical will scatter near the field based on the scattering range, a three-dimensional position or a travel route of a second unmanned aircraft so that downwash of the second unmanned aircraft prevents scattering of the chemical near the field.
