Abstract:
According to some embodiments of the invention, an adjusting device for adjusting a passive drip irrigation valve to enable precision irrigation includes a device body configured to be at least one of hand-held or attachable to a robot, the device body having a manipulator end, and a manipulator assembly contained within and extending from the manipulator end of the device body. The manipulator assembly includes a coarse alignment adjustment assembly constructed and arranged to align the adjusting device with the passive drip irrigation valve. The manipulator assembly also includes a fine actuator configured to rotate the passive drip irrigation valve by a specified angle.

Claim (Index 24):
A robotic system for precision irrigation, comprising:\n a mobile robot comprising a robot arm, said robot arm comprising an actuator configured to connect to and manipulate a passive drip irrigation valve to be adjusted; a control system in communication with the mobile robot; and a navigation system in communication with the control system, said navigation system having an accuracy sufficient to guide the mobile robot to a particular passive drip irrigation valve, wherein the control system is configured to: identify a location of the passive drip irrigation valve based on information received from the navigation system, and instruct the mobile robot to connect to and manipulate the passive drip irrigation valve to adjust a rate of fluid flow through the passive drip irrigation valve.
