Abstract
A grow space automation system. The system includes growing plants in grow modules that are individually moveable. One or more mobile robots can navigate around a grow space, bring any grow module from one location to another, and perform grow space operations. The grow space operations can be automated using robot-based actuation of automation fixtures. Interactions with plants can also be achieved via robot attachments. The grow space is configured to allow maximum grow tray density while still maintaining traveling pathways for the mobile robots. Multiple mobile robots move about the grow space in their respective travel zones in coordination with one another via navigation planners. Multi-robot coordination can also be achieved using a central server. Local leveling of grow trays can be achieved via laser levels.
