Abstract:
Various autonomous aquatic herbicide application vessels are described. In one embodiment, a system for aquatic herbicide application includes an aquatic vessel, a propulsion system to propel the aquatic vessel over a body of water, a holding container to hold a substance, a substance applicator to apply the substance to the body of water, and a controller. The controller can include a control processor configured to navigate the aquatic vessel using the propulsion system and apply the substance to the body of water using the substance applicator. According to one embodiment, the system includes a global positioning system to determine a geographic location of the system and a memory to store a route for application of the substance in the body of water. Further, the controller is configured to autonomously control the propulsion system to track the route based on changes in the geographic location of the system over time.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of autonomous aquatic substance application, comprising:\n storing a route for application of a substance in a body of water into a memory; navigating, by a control system coupled to a propulsion system, an aquatic vessel according to the route; applying a substance to the body of water according to an application pattern associated with the route; and surveying the body of water to acquire survey data along the route.
