Abstract

A system for aquatic plant processing includes a harvester, which includes a nozzle assembly and optionally a pump assembly; and a transport subsystem. Additionally or alternatively, the system can include and/or interface with any or all of: a conduit, a collection assembly, a control subsystem, a sensor subsystem, a pond, and/or any other suitable components. A method for harvesting includes operating the harvesting system in a set of one or more operation modes.

• E04H 4/16 - Parts, details or accessories not otherwise provided for specially adapted for cleaning

Abstract

A system for computer-assisted harvesting includes and/or interfaces with: a set of sensors and optionally any or all of: a set of computing and/or processing subsystems (e.g., computers, processors, etc.); a harvesting subsystem (equivalently referred to herein as a harvesting robot); and/or any other components. A method for computer-assisted harvesting can include any or all of: sampling a set of sensors; determining a set of metrics associated with a harvesting region; aggregating the set of metrics; assessing the harvesting region; and triggering an action.
