TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] With the growth of global population and the higher demand for food safety and quality, especially in the farming industry, it is facing unprecedented challenges. Traditional farming methods often overlook the fine management of animal health and environmental monitoring while improving production, leading to resource waste, environmental pollution and frequent animal diseases. In addition, with the rising labor costs and the increasing complexity of the farming environment, manual inspection and management have been difficult to meet the needs of efficiency and precision. Therefore, with the help of automation and intelligent technology for farming management, especially through the inspection robot for environmental and animal health monitoring, has become the key way to solve the problems of low efficiency, poor precision and slow emergency response in the farming industry, and promoting the development of intelligent agriculture has become an important direction of global agricultural modernization.
[0003] Although the existing breeding house inspection robots have improved the breeding efficiency to some extent, there are still some problems in actual application, especially in the aspects of patrol path planning and health assessment. On the one hand, traditional path planning algorithms, such as the shortest path algorithm, may not be easy to effectively solve the optimization problem of multiple factors such as energy consumption, device charging and regional health status in large-scale breeding houses, resulting in that the inspection robot may not be able to cover all key areas due to insufficient power or too long path. On the other hand, the current health monitoring system often relies too much on single data input when assessing the environmental and animal health status, and it is difficult to consider the nonlinear relationship between multiple variables, and it is not easy to accurately reflect the complexity of the breeding environment. Therefore, although the robot can complete the inspection task, it lacks real-time health assessment mechanism and dynamic path adjustment ability, which affects the comprehensive management effect of the breeding environment and animal health when the robot encounters a health risk area.

Ultimately, it provides continuous and accurate health monitoring in a dynamically changing breeding environment, ensuring that the breeding environment and animal safety and health management are in optimal condition, significantly improving the level of refined management and operational efficiency of the farm.
[0109] Example 6
[0110] This embodiment is an explanation based on Embodiment 5. Please refer to it. Figure 1 Specifically: S5 includes S51 and S52;
[0111] S51. When the comprehensive health assessment triggers path planning, based on the three-dimensional drawings, a dynamic path optimization formula is constructed using a dynamic path planning algorithm. Then, the obtained comprehensive health index zhj is input into the dynamic path optimization model to obtain the dynamic path adjustment index ljt.
[0112] The dynamic path optimization formula is as follows;
[0113]
[0114] In the formula, The rate of change of the comprehensive health index zhj of the i-th region over time is represented by jl. i jl represents the distance between the i-th region and the next region. i nl represents the energy loss required to move from region i to the next region. maxrepresents the remaining energy of the inspection robot, n represents the total number of regions, and exp represents the exponential function with base e.
[0115] In S52, the inspection robot adjusts the path in the region part in the dangerous state according to the dynamic path adjustment index ljt, adjusts the inspection path of this region, and if multiple regions simultaneously have health problems, the robot re-evaluates and adjusts the paths of all related regions, and dynamically adjusts the path order and distance according to the real-time comprehensive health index zhj, and preferentially covers the regions in the dangerous state with high health risks.
[0116] After the relevant personnel governance, the inspection path of the inspection robot is adjusted again by the dynamic path adjustment index ljt according to the change trend of the comprehensive health index zhj obtained through multiple inspections, until the comprehensive health evaluation of the inspection task area of the inspection robot is good, the inspection path of the inspection robot is re-adjusted to the initial inspection path.
[0117] In this embodiment, the dynamic path optimization algorithm adjusts the inspection path in real time according to the change of the comprehensive health index zhj, ensuring that the inspection robot can preferentially cover regions with high health risks, especially regions in the dangerous state. This dynamic path adjustment mechanism can intelligently adjust the inspection order and path according to the health status of different regions, avoiding the fixed inspection mode commonly seen in traditional methods and improving the accuracy and pertinence of inspection. Secondly, when multiple regions simultaneously have health problems, the inspection robot re-evaluates the health status of all related regions and optimizes the path according to the dynamic path adjustment index ljt and the change trend. This adaptive path adjustment method not only improves the flexibility of the inspection robot, but also enhances the emergency response capability of the system, ensuring that health hazards can be discovered and handled in the shortest time. Finally, after multiple inspections, the path is adjusted again according to the gradient of the health index change, ensuring that health problems are completely solved, and the inspection robot will re-adjust the inspection path to the initial inspection path when all regions return to a good health state. Through this series of dynamic adjustment, the system can continuously optimize the inspection path, provide efficient and fine health management, and ensure that the environment and animal health in the breeding house are optimally protected.
