[0002] Existing technologies suffer from the following problems: With the increasing scarcity of global water resources and the development of precision agriculture, traditional large-area sprinkler irrigation methods can no longer meet the requirements of modern agriculture for efficient water resource utilization. Existing irrigation technologies mainly suffer from the following issues: Low water utilization rate: Traditional flood irrigation and sprinkler irrigation methods have a water utilization rate of only 40-60%, with a large amount of water wasted due to evaporation and runoff. Insufficient irrigation precision: Existing irrigation systems mostly use uniform standards for irrigation, failing to make precise adjustments according to the specific needs of different crops and different growth stages. High dependence on manual labor: Traditional irrigation requires a large amount of manual intervention, including opening and closing valves, moving equipment, and monitoring crop status, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency.

Collaborative Task Scheduling: Based on the location, status, and capabilities of multiple mobile devices, tasks are decomposed and paths are planned to avoid conflicts and improve operational efficiency. S6. Adaptive Precision Execution: After the mobile device reaches the target location, the crop status is reconfirmed through machine vision, and the nozzle parameters are adaptively adjusted to implement precise irrigation; S7. Effect Evaluation and Learning: Monitor crop response and soil moisture changes after irrigation, evaluate irrigation effects and update prediction models and decision parameters; S8. Intelligent resource scheduling: Real-time monitoring of device power and water levels, optimizing charging and water replenishment timing to ensure continuous operation.
