Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and more specifically, to an automated aquaculture equipment system and business method. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture, traditional methods often rely on manual monitoring and management, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee the stability of the aquaculture environment and the health of the farmed organisms. With technological advancements, automation has been gradually introduced into aquaculture to improve efficiency and product quality. However, existing automated aquaculture systems still have shortcomings in monitoring and controlling dissolved oxygen concentration, failing to accurately reflect the dissolved oxygen status of the aquaculture water in real time, thus affecting the growth and survival rate of farmed organisms. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention proposes an automated aquaculture equipment system and business method, aiming to improve aquaculture efficiency and product quality.

[0004] An automated aquaculture equipment system and business method, comprising: The system includes a breeding shed module, an unmanned vehicle module, a sales module, a health management and monitoring module, a safety monitoring system and alarm processing module, and a back-end server. The breeding shed module has multiple sheds for raising different types of animals, including poultry and aquatic animals. The poultry shed has multiple independent activity spaces and is equipped with temperature and humidity control systems and air circulation systems to maintain suitable temperature and humidity, ensuring the healthy growth of the poultry. The poultry shed also features an automated feeding system, oxygen supply module, water management module, and disease monitoring and health management module. It automatically feeds poultry according to their species and growth stage, ensuring feeding efficiency and accuracy. It provides a clean drinking water system and oxygen equipment to ensure the poultry receive sufficient water and oxygen. It is also equipped with biosensors and monitoring equipment to monitor the poultry's health status in real time, promptly detect diseases and intervene, and has an automatic drug dispensing device that automatically administers medication according to the detected health status. The poultry shed also has a hygiene and cleaning module to ensure the hygienic condition of the breeding environment, thereby improving the health of the farmed animals and reducing the risk of disease transmission. The aquaculture tanks are equipped with a water quality control system, a water circulation system, an automatic feeding system, and an environmental monitoring and regulation system. The water quality control system includes water temperature monitoring, pH adjustment, dissolved oxygen monitoring, and a water purification system to ensure a suitable aquatic environment for fish growth. The water circulation system uses multi-stage water circulation and purification equipment to ensure stable and clean water quality and prevent the spread of pathogens. The automatic feeding system automatically feeds fish at set times and in set quantities according to the density of the fish population and their feed requirements. The environmental monitoring and regulation system is equipped with water quality sensors, temperature and humidity control equipment, and an automated water flow regulation system to ensure stable water quality and maximize water conservation. It can automatically adjust the water flow rate according to the stocking density, water quality changes, and the growth stage of the aquatic animals to ensure stable dissolved oxygen levels and water quality. The health management and detection module includes a health monitoring function and a disease early warning and intelligent diagnosis system. The health monitoring function monitors the health status of farmed animals in real time, prevents diseases, improves animal growth efficiency, and ensures the safety of the farming process. Through the combination of multiple sensors, detection equipment, and intelligent algorithms, it can comprehensively analyze the health status of animals, promptly identify potential problems, and issue early warnings. The disease early warning and intelligent diagnosis system analyzes animal health data to automatically diagnose potential disease risks. The system combines vital sign data, behavioral data, and environmental data, and uses algorithmic models to determine the likelihood of diseases, providing early warnings and reducing the spread of diseases. For aquatic animals, the system can monitor changes in environmental parameters such as water quality, dissolved oxygen, and pH, and, combined with fish vital sign data, predict potential infectious diseases (such as white spot disease and hemorrhagic septicemia). For poultry, the system can identify problems such as influenza and avian diseases through parameters such as changes in body temperature and appetite. The system can not only monitor individual animals but also conduct health assessments of the entire group, identifying early signs of disease through flock behavior. The safety monitoring system and alarm processing module are responsible for monitoring the safety of the breeding environment and equipment, ensuring that there are no potential safety hazards during the breeding process, and taking effective measures quickly in case of abnormalities to prevent accidents; including equipment failure monitoring, environmental risk early warning, animal health and safety monitoring, and personnel and equipment safety assurance. The sales module includes a product display and selection module, an order processing and payment module, an inventory management and scheduling module, a product traceability and quality assurance module, and an automated delivery and after-sales service module. The sales module provides consumers with a clear and transparent product display, including information such as the types, specifications, and prices of farmed products. Consumers can place orders and complete transactions through smart terminals such as touchscreens, mobile apps, mini-programs, third-party partner platforms, and websites. The sales module can monitor product inventory in real time and automatically adjust product display information to avoid overselling or stockouts. Through data and sensors, it provides consumers with product origin and quality assurance information, enabling product traceability. The unmanned vehicle module includes a delivery module, a battery management system, a path planning module, an obstacle recognition module, and a speed control system. The delivery module is responsible for delivering farmed products from the production area to sales points or other designated locations. The battery management system monitors the battery's charge level, charging status, temperature, and other parameters in real time, providing feedback on the battery's health status. When the battery charge is lower than a predetermined value, the battery management system will notify the operator to charge or replace the battery. The battery includes direct power and backup power, and can also support solar panel charging to ensure the unmanned vehicle does not stop operating. When the unmanned vehicle decelerates or brakes, the battery management system can automatically recover some energy to extend the battery's lifespan. The path planning module dynamically plans the optimal path based on the task objectives and real-time environmental data, avoiding unnecessary detours or congested sections to ensure fast and efficient completion of delivery tasks. When the environment changes (such as obstacles, changes in traffic conditions, etc.), the path planning system will automatically adjust the path to ensure the unmanned vehicle safely reaches its destination. If there are multiple target locations to deliver to, the system can automatically plan multi-target paths and allocate them to the unmanned vehicle based on factors such as priority and distance. The backend server is responsible for managing, processing, and storing various types of data, coordinating the operation of various modules, and ensuring the stable and secure operation of the system. The backend server includes functions such as task scheduling, equipment control, and system monitoring, and supports front-end users, equipment managers, and operators to remotely control equipment. The backend server also includes a breeding database management module, which is responsible for managing and maintaining various types of data in the breeding process. Through effective data storage, analysis, and management, it ensures efficient, transparent, and intelligent operation of the breeding process.

[0005] Furthermore, the breeding pens module also includes sensors and monitoring equipment in each pens to monitor the animals' health status, environmental conditions, and feed and water usage in real time. The data is transmitted and analyzed in real time through an integrated system to ensure that the breeding environment is adjusted in a timely manner to meet the needs of different animals. Each breeding pens module is independently adjustable and can be customized or expanded as needed to support the simultaneous breeding of multiple animals. Functions can be optimized and modified according to the breeding needs of different animals. Multiple independent breeding pens systems can be collaboratively managed across animal species. Different types of farmed animals can be managed simultaneously within the same system, and the breeding conditions of each pens can be adjusted according to the specific breeding environment and data feedback to achieve the optimal breeding effect. Each poultry farming shed requires different water quality. The water supply system in the poultry farming shed is primarily for poultry drinking water, using methods such as drip systems, drinkers, and pipeline systems. Automated drinking water systems are commonly used in poultry farming to reduce human intervention and ensure clean and convenient drinking water for the poultry. The drinking water system includes a water treatment and filtration system. To prevent bacterial, pathogen, and impurity contamination of the water source, the water supply system in the poultry farming shed requires water purification treatment. Treatment methods include filtration, ultraviolet disinfection, and reverse osmosis technology. The filtration system can remove impurities, sediment, and harmful substances from the water, maintaining water quality. The aquaculture shed's water supply system uses a water circulation system, which can effectively utilize water resources and reduce... Water waste is addressed by filtering, purifying, and oxidizing water before it is reintroduced into the aquaculture system to maintain stable water quality. This also includes regulating factors such as water quality, dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature. Dissolved oxygen is crucial for fish growth, and aeration equipment, including oxygen pumps, air stones, and bubble generators, ensures sufficient oxygen in the water. Water temperature is essential for the growth and health of aquatic animals, and a temperature control system, including temperature sensors, heaters, and cooling equipment, can adjust the water temperature in real time to ensure it remains within a suitable range. The water supply system needs to be equipped with pH monitoring equipment to automatically adjust the water's pH based on changes in water quality, preventing excessively high or low pH levels from causing stress or even death in fish.

[0006] Furthermore, the breeding shed module also includes a robotic arm device, which performs important tasks such as grasping, moving, feeding, and cleaning in the automated breeding system. For poultry (such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc.) and aquatic animals (such as fish, shrimp, crabs, etc.), the design and operation of the grasping tools equipped on the robotic arm differ. Poultry are typically large, moderately heavy, and agile. The robotic arm device is equipped with a visual recognition system that can identify the species, size, position, and movements of the poultry, helping to accurately determine the grasping timing. It is also equipped with sensors, a force feedback system, and path optimization, allowing the robotic arm to precisely adjust the grasping force. To prevent poultry injuries, the system utilizes AI algorithms to plan optimal paths, preventing escapes and excessive fright. The robotic arm is equipped with gripping and moving tools such as soft grippers, sensor-equipped pneumatic grippers, gripping frames, net bags, and ring grippers to handle animals of different sizes. The robotic arm also features a rotating platform or tray for easy movement of poultry. The tray has anti-slip properties, ensuring stable transport of poultry to designated locations and preventing motion sickness during transport. The robotic arm can be used in conjunction with automated vehicles to quickly transfer animals to different areas. Aquatic animals typically live in water, are small, soft, and slippery. The robotic arm device is equipped with an underwater vision recognition system, a water temperature and environmental control system, and automatic path planning and obstacle avoidance. It uses underwater high-definition cameras and sensors to accurately identify aquatic animals, especially in turbid waters, and can accurately locate target animals. Sensors monitor parameters such as water temperature, pH value, and dissolved oxygen to ensure environmental stability during the grasping and transportation process, preventing animals from being subjected to environmental stress. Based on real-time environmental changes in the water (such as water flow, obstacles, and other animals), the system can automatically adjust the path planning to avoid obstacles and optimize the grasping process. The grasping and moving tools of the robotic arm device can include suction cups, flexible net bags, mechanical claws, grasping clamps, and underwater towing devices. It can grasp different types of aquatic animals. With the underwater towing device, it can quickly drag aquatic animals out of the water for transportation, ensuring the health and safety of aquatic animals during the handling process.

[0007] Furthermore, the breeding shed module also includes a disinfection module and a sanitation cleaning module; The disinfection module is equipped with sterilization and disinfection equipment and automated disinfection equipment, which kill pathogens, bacteria, viruses and fungi in the breeding environment through various disinfection technologies to prevent the spread of diseases; The sanitation cleaning module is equipped with a waste collection system, a waste transfer system, and a precision cleaning scheduling system; the waste collection system monitors the accumulation of waste through sensors and automatically starts the cleaning system when a set threshold is reached; The waste transfer system regularly transfers the collected waste to a dedicated storage area or treatment facility, equipped with robotic arms or automated conveying systems; The aforementioned precision cleaning and scheduling system monitors the hygiene conditions inside the breeding shed in real time through sensors. The system automatically initiates cleaning tasks according to cleaning needs, ensuring that the environment is always kept clean.

[0008] Furthermore, in the safety monitoring system and alarm processing module, the equipment fault monitoring uses sensors and a data acquisition system to monitor the operating status of various equipment in real time, including but not limited to the operating status of automatic feeding systems, water supply systems, air conditioning systems, and power systems. The system can detect whether there are problems such as equipment failure, shutdown, or overload, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment; it also monitors the energy consumption of the breeding system, such as electricity, water, and gas, to ensure that energy consumption is within the normal range and to avoid energy waste; if abnormal energy consumption occurs, the system will issue an alarm and report it to the operator in a timely manner; the environmental safety monitoring system uses environmental sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity in the breeding chamber in real time and automatically adjusts it according to the set standards to ensure that the environment is maintained in the most suitable state; if abnormal temperature and humidity occur, the system will automatically issue an alarm. For poultry farming, gas sensors monitor the concentration of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methane in the air in real time to ensure that the air quality meets the health needs of the farmed animals. When the gas concentration exceeds the standard, the system will automatically start ventilation or exhaust equipment and notify the management personnel for further treatment. For aquaculture, water quality is a key factor affecting animal health. The system monitors indicators such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia nitrogen in the water to ensure that the water quality is maintained within a suitable range. If the water quality is abnormal, the system will start water purification equipment or adjust the water circulation system to avoid affecting the animals. The safety monitoring system and alarm processing module are integrated with cross-platform monitoring. Through the cloud platform, the farm can remotely monitor various safety data such as equipment, environment, and animal health. The cloud platform can also integrate various alarm systems to achieve cross-platform alarm and processing.

[0009] Furthermore, the sales module also includes a multi-channel sales and cross-platform integration module, and a payment and settlement module; The cross-platform integration module can connect the sales platform with third-party e-commerce platforms (such as Taobao, JD.com, Pinduoduo, etc.) and social platforms (such as WeChat, Douyin, Kuaishou, etc.), providing multiple purchase options. Consumers can view and purchase products on multiple platforms, and the data is synchronized to ensure the consistency of inventory and orders. Through the back-end management system, data such as orders, inventory, and customer information from different channels can be managed in a unified manner. The payment and settlement module supports multiple payment methods, including bank card payment, WeChat payment, Alipay, credit card, and online payment platforms (such as PayPal), to meet the payment needs of different consumers. It also supports installment payments and credit payments, providing installment payment and credit payment services for high-value products (such as high-end aquaculture breeds and customized products). The payment and settlement module also supports the system to automatically calculate order fees and provide real-time details such as shipping costs, discounts, and offers to ensure transparent pricing.

[0010] The sales module also includes a user account management module and a loyalty management module. Consumers can register and log in to their personal accounts to view historical orders, favorite products, manage payment information, etc. Membership levels can be set for long-term buyers, and different levels of exclusive services can be provided based on the amount or frequency of consumption, such as priority delivery, customized products, and exclusive discounts. Consumers can earn points by purchasing, participating in activities, and sharing on social media, and use these points to redeem coupons and products.

[0011] The sales module also includes a data analysis and reporting module, which includes real-time sales data monitoring, market trend analysis, and order and customer analysis.

By analyzing consumer purchasing trends, preferences, and behaviors, it provides data support for marketing decisions, analyzes the purchasing habits of different consumer groups, and optimizes product display and marketing strategies.

[0012] Furthermore, the unmanned vehicle module and the breeding shed can be designed as an integrated unit, enabling integrated operation of breeding and sales; alternatively, the unmanned vehicle module and the breeding shed can be designed as separate units, which can increase the breeding scope. The breeding shed can be expanded to include the breeding and sales of multiple types of edible animals, supports modular transformation, and the unmanned vehicle undertakes dynamic tasks such as transportation and delivery to multiple breeding sheds. The breeding sheds can achieve environmental regulation and independent operation, achieving the goal of collaborative, efficient, and low-cost breeding.

[0013] Furthermore, the backend server is responsible for coordinating various tasks of the entire system, managing and processing data, controlling equipment, monitoring, alarming, and optimizing; the backend server ensures the stable operation of the system and provides remote control operation and maintenance; The back-end server is equipped with a database management system and a breeding database management module; the back-end server stores a large amount of data in real time, including environmental parameters (such as temperature, humidity, dissolved oxygen, etc.), animal growth data (such as weight, feed intake, etc.), equipment status data, etc. According to the system's needs, the back-end server can assign tasks to equipment such as breeding sheds, robotic arms, and unmanned vehicles. The tasks include automated feeding, cleaning, monitoring, and delivery, and the server monitors the execution status of each task to ensure that the tasks are completed as expected.

Administrators can remotely control each device through the back-end server. The back-end server can synchronize data with the cloud, supporting cross-regional management and control. Through cloud access, administrators can remotely access and control the entire breeding system through mobile devices or computers.

[0014] Furthermore, the aquaculture database management module mainly includes data storage and management, data collection and transmission, data analysis and processing, and data backup and recovery. This module is responsible for storing all data during the aquaculture process, including animal growth records, environmental data (such as temperature, humidity, and water quality), feeding data, and health data. It employs efficient data storage methods to ensure long-term data preservation and efficient retrieval. All data is categorized and tagged according to animal species, aquaculture stage, and aquaculture area to facilitate subsequent management and retrieval. Records of different animal species or different aquaculture pens are clearly identified to avoid confusion. A distributed database architecture is adopted to optimize storage performance, query efficiency, and scalability, ensuring the system can handle massive amounts of data and maintain efficient operation.

[0015] Furthermore, the aforementioned automated aquaculture equipment system and business method include a trading platform, enabling a business model that allows for the direct sale and leasing of aquaculture equipment.

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] See Figure 1 As shown in some embodiments of this application, this embodiment provides an automated aquaculture equipment system and a commercial method, including: The system includes a breeding shed module, an unmanned vehicle module, a sales module, a health management and monitoring module, a safety monitoring system and alarm processing module, and a back-end server. In this embodiment, the breeding shed module has multiple sheds for raising different types of animals, including poultry sheds and aquatic sheds. The poultry shed has multiple independent activity spaces and is equipped with a temperature and humidity control system and an air circulation system to maintain suitable temperature and humidity and ensure the healthy growth of poultry. The poultry shed is also equipped with an automated feeding system, an oxygen supply module, a water source management module, and a disease monitoring and health management module. It is also equipped with biosensors and monitoring equipment to monitor the health status of poultry in real time, detect diseases in a timely manner and intervene, and has an automatic drug dispensing device to automatically administer drugs according to the detected health status.

Sensors and biological monitoring equipment monitor the poultry's health status in real time, enabling timely detection and intervention of diseases. An automatic medication dispensing device automatically administers medication as needed and in the correct dosage based on the poultry's health monitoring data, ensuring maximum effectiveness at the correct time and dosage. Through automated devices (such as drug delivery pumps and drip irrigation systems), precise drug delivery is ensured, avoiding drug waste or overuse. Automated vaccination of poultry can also be performed, reducing manual operation and improving the accuracy and efficiency of vaccine injection. The hygiene and cleaning module can regularly clean and disinfect poultry breeding pens, including the ground, drinking water system, feed troughs, and air filtration system, to remove accumulated dust, feces, and other pollutants. Regular cleaning of the breeding environment reduces the risk of disease transmission. Through an intelligent temperature and humidity control system, suitable air humidity and temperature are maintained to reduce the proliferation of bacteria caused by humid or overheated air, keeping the air fresh and the environment hygienic, thereby improving the health of poultry.

The automated water flow regulation system automatically adjusts the water flow rate based on factors such as water quality changes and breeding density to ensure the stability of dissolved oxygen and water quality. Based on data analysis, the system adjusts the water flow speed, dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, and humidity in real time to optimize the aquaculture environment to the greatest extent possible.

[0022] In this embodiment, the health management and detection module includes a health monitoring function and a disease early warning and intelligent diagnosis system. The health monitoring function monitors the health status of farmed animals in real time, prevents diseases, improves animal growth efficiency, and ensures the safety of the farming process. Through the combination of multiple sensors, detection devices, and intelligent algorithms, it can comprehensively analyze the health status of animals, promptly detect potential problems, and issue early warnings. The system can not only monitor individual animals but also conduct health assessments of the entire group, identifying early signs of disease through cluster behavior. Specifically, the health management and monitoring module monitors the health status of farmed animals in real time, equipped with various sensors and detection devices to ensure animals are in optimal growth condition, reduce disease incidence, and improve farming efficiency. Using devices such as temperature sensors, heart rate monitors, weight monitors, and motion sensors, it continuously tracks the animals' physiological state. For example, by monitoring physiological parameters such as body temperature changes, respiratory rate, and heart rate, it can identify whether animals are in an abnormal state. Through cameras and a behavior analysis system, it monitors the animals' activity levels, appetite, and sleep patterns, promptly detecting behavioral abnormalities and predicting potential health problems in advance. Based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms, the system can identify early health problems and take necessary measures through automated control systems, such as adjusting the environment and optimizing feeding programs, to reduce the risk of disease. The disease early warning and intelligent diagnosis system, through in-depth analysis of farmed animal health data combined with environmental data, can intelligently predict potential disease risks and issue early warnings, helping managers take appropriate measures before disease spreads. For aquatic animals, the health monitoring system, in addition to monitoring animal vital signs, also includes real-time monitoring of water quality to ensure that the impact of the aquatic environment on animal health is minimized.

[0023] In this embodiment, the safety monitoring system and alarm processing module are responsible for monitoring the safety of the breeding environment and equipment, ensuring that there are no potential safety hazards during the breeding process, and taking effective measures quickly to prevent accidents in the event of abnormalities; including equipment failure monitoring, environmental risk early warning, animal health and safety monitoring, and safety assurance for personnel and equipment; Specifically, the system uses sensors and smart devices to monitor the real-time operating status of aquaculture equipment, such as temperature control systems, oxygen supply systems, automatic feeding systems, and water quality monitoring equipment. If equipment malfunctions (e.g., a faulty temperature and humidity control system or a water supply system outage), the system will immediately detect it and issue an alarm. Through equipment status data analysis, the system can intelligently diagnose the type and cause of the malfunction and promptly issue alarm messages, prompting operators to take repair or replacement measures. Equipment malfunctions can be graded and warned according to their severity, ensuring that management personnel can respond quickly based on the level of urgency. Environmental risk monitoring primarily focuses on the safety of the aquaculture environment, such as temperature... The system can monitor and issue early warnings in real time for factors such as temperature fluctuations, gas leaks, and water pollution, preventing environmental problems from threatening animal health. It monitors environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, ammonia concentration, air quality, and water quality (pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, etc.). When these parameters exceed the set safety range, the system will automatically alarm and initiate emergency procedures, such as turning on the ventilation system, adjusting temperature and humidity, adjusting water flow, or adding water purifiers. For aquatic animals, the system pays special attention to changes in water quality. When water quality parameters (such as dissolved oxygen, pH, etc.) change drastically, the system will automatically issue an alarm and adjust environmental conditions to ensure suitable living conditions for aquatic animals. Animal health and safety monitoring aims to promptly detect health problems in farmed animals, prevent the spread of diseases and animal deaths, and ensure the safety of the entire farming process. It monitors the physiological status of poultry or aquatic animals in real time, such as body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, activity level, and appetite. When the system detects abnormalities in animal health data (e.g., elevated body temperature, decreased appetite), it immediately alarms and activates health intervention mechanisms, such as automatically adjusting the environment, changing feeding plans, or administering treatment through medication delivery devices. Combining animal health data and environmental parameters, the system can intelligently diagnose potential disease risks and issue alarms. Through data analysis, the system can proactively identify potential risks such as influenza and avian diseases and provide diagnostic suggestions to operators, reducing the risk of disease spread. When the system detects faults, abnormalities, or safety hazards, it automatically triggers emergency response procedures, such as adjusting temperature and humidity, activating backup equipment, and switching water sources. For major safety issues (such as fires or equipment malfunctions), the system will notify management personnel through alarms and initiate corresponding emergency operations. Alarm handling procedure: Once an alarm is triggered, the system will first take automatic actions, such as activating backup equipment, adjusting the environment, and shutting down faulty equipment. At the same time, the system will push the alarm information to the relevant personnel to help them respond in a timely manner. The alarm information includes a detailed fault diagnosis report, emergency handling measures, and suggestions. For situations requiring manual intervention, the system will provide a detailed fault report and solutions to help operators quickly locate the problem and take action.

[0026] In this embodiment, the robotic arm device in the automated aquaculture system undertakes important tasks such as grasping, moving, feeding and cleaning; for poultry (such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc.) and aquatic animals (such as fish, shrimp, crabs, etc.), the design and operation of the grasping tools equipped on the robotic arm are different; Specifically, the robotic arm device for poultry (such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc.) is equipped with a visual recognition system that can identify the species, size, position, and movements of the poultry, helping to accurately determine the timing of grasping. It is also equipped with sensors, a force feedback system, and path optimization, allowing the robotic arm to precisely adjust the grasping force to avoid injury to the poultry. Using AI algorithms, the system can plan the optimal path to prevent escape and avoid excessive fright. The robotic arm device is equipped with grasping and moving tools such as soft grippers, sensor-equipped pneumatic grippers, grasping frames, net bags, and ring-shaped grippers to grasp animals of different sizes. The soft grippers are made of soft materials (such as rubber or polyurethane) to avoid hard collisions and crushing injuries during grasping. During grasping, the grippers provide sufficient force to stabilize the animal without causing excessive pressure. The sensor-equipped pneumatic gripper controls the grasping force through air pressure, adjusting the pressure in real time according to the animal's size and grasping needs to ensure that the poultry is not grasped too tightly, causing injury. For larger poultry or group movement, frame-like grasping tools such as net bags can be used. The net bag design can wrap the poultry to prevent escape and avoid crushing the animals. Ring-shaped grasping devices can be used in some special applications to grasp poultry around their chest or body, and the opening and closing of the tool can be adjusted to ensure a secure grasp. The robotic arm device is equipped with a rotating platform or tray, which allows for easy movement of poultry. The tray has an anti-slip function, which can smoothly transport poultry to the designated location and prevent animals from becoming dizzy during transportation. The robotic arm can be used in conjunction with automated carts to quickly transfer animals to different areas. Poultry handling procedure: (01) Location recognition: Use visual sensors and depth sensors to locate the position and status of poultry; (02) Grasping action: The robotic arm grasps poultry using soft grippers or pneumatic gripping devices to avoid injury; (03) Stable transportation: Use pallets or rotating platforms to move poultry to designated locations or transport vehicles; (04) Release animals: After reaching the target location, the robotic arm releases or slides the gripping tool to place the poultry in the target area.

[0027] Aquatic animals typically live in water, are small, soft, and slippery. The robotic arm device is equipped with an underwater vision recognition system, a water temperature and environmental control system, and automatic path planning and obstacle avoidance. It uses underwater high-definition cameras and sensors to accurately identify aquatic animals, especially in turbid waters, where it can accurately locate target animals. Sensors monitor parameters such as water temperature, pH value, and dissolved oxygen to ensure environmental stability during the grasping and transportation process, preventing animals from being subjected to environmental stress. Based on real-time environmental changes in the water (such as water flow, obstacles, and other animals), the system can automatically adjust path planning to avoid obstacles and optimize the grasping process. The grasping and moving tools equipped by the robotic arm device can include suction cups, flexible net bags, mechanical claws, grasping clamps, and underwater towing devices. Suction cups are the most commonly used tool for grasping aquatic animals (such as fish and shellfish). Through negative pressure adsorption, suction cups can firmly grasp aquatic animals onto the robotic arm. Suction cups are particularly suitable for animals with smooth surfaces such as fish and shrimp. Flexible net bags are ideal for larger aquatic animals (such as large fish and lobsters). The net bags can be quickly deployed in the water to wrap the animals. The net bags are generally made of soft and wear-resistant materials that can adapt to the shape of aquatic animals. For aquatic animals with hard shells, such as crabs, robotic arms can be equipped with finely adjustable grippers to gently grasp or pick up these animals. The opening and closing force of the grippers is controlled by sensors to avoid injury. Grasping clamps are typically used for specific types of aquatic animals (such as crabs or shellfish), using clamps to lock onto the shell for movement. Telescopic gripping arms are used in deeper aquaculture environments, allowing for the grasping of aquatic animals in deeper waters. When combined with underwater towing devices, aquatic animals can be quickly dragged out of the water for transport, ensuring their health and safety during handling. Aquatic animal handling procedures: (01) Location and identification: Locate the aquatic animals using an underwater vision system and identify their species and size; (02) Grasping: Use suction cups or flexible net bags or other tools to securely grasp aquatic animals; (03) Stable transportation: The captured aquatic animals are transported to the target location by a mobile system of underwater transport vehicles or robotic arms; (04) Release: Release the captured animals to a designated area, such as a breeding pod or transport vehicle, depending on the environment and needs.

When the environment changes (such as obstacles, changes in traffic conditions, etc.), the path planning system automatically adjusts the path to ensure the unmanned vehicle safely reaches its destination. If there are multiple target locations to deliver to, the system can automatically plan multi-target paths and allocate them to the unmanned vehicle based on factors such as priority and distance. Understandably, the delivery module transports products from the production area to the target location based on order information or designated tasks. Delivery routes, times, and target locations are automatically planned and assigned to unmanned vehicles by the system. If there are multiple delivery tasks or target locations, the system can rationally arrange them to ensure delivery order. The system automatically plans the optimal route based on task objectives (such as delivery destination and time requirements) and current environmental data (such as traffic conditions and weather), reducing unnecessary detours and traffic congestion. If multiple target locations need to be delivered, the system can automatically plan multi-target routes based on priority, distance, and other factors, and intelligently allocate tasks to different unmanned vehicles to ensure efficient completion of delivery tasks. During delivery, the obstacle recognition module is equipped with various sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors to monitor the surrounding environment in real time, including various obstacles such as buildings, equipment, pedestrians, and others. Vehicles and other autonomous vehicles utilize image processing and deep learning technologies to identify different types of obstacles, including both static and dynamic obstacles, such as their size, shape, and movement. When the system detects an obstacle, the autonomous vehicle can automatically take appropriate avoidance measures, such as slowing down, stopping, or turning, to ensure safe passage. The Battery Management System (BMS) monitors the vehicle's battery status in real time, ensuring sufficient power during operation and preventing shutdowns due to battery issues. It monitors key parameters such as battery charge, charging status, and temperature to ensure the battery remains in a safe operating condition. The BMS analyzes this data to predict battery lifespan and issues warnings when battery problems occur, activating backup batteries when power is low. Autonomous vehicles can be equipped with solar panels to charge the battery using solar energy, reducing reliance on external power sources and improving energy efficiency.
