Distributed intelligent grounds management system

A lawn care growth monitoring system comprising:

• sensor equipment including one or more sensors disposed on a parcel of land;
• a local yard maintenance manager disposed proximate to the parcel of land and configured to interface with the sensor equipment to monitor growing conditions on the parcel of land, the growing conditions comprising a moisture level of the parcel of land;
• a remote yard maintenance manager disposed remotely with respect to the parcel of land and configured to interface with the local yard maintenance manager disposed proximate to the parcel of land or the sensor equipment on the parcel of land;
• task performance equipment disposed on the parcel of land and configured to perform a task on the parcel of land, the task performance equipment comprising a sprinkler configured to sprinkle water on the parcel of land, wherein the local yard maintenance manager or the remote yard maintenance manager is configured to interface with the task performance equipment relative to performance of the task;
• and
• a robotic lawnmower comprising processing circuitry and being configured to work the parcel of land and act as a mobile sensor, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• perform a position determination of the robotic lawnmower as the robotic lawnmower works the parcel of land based on information received from the task performance equipment disposed on the parcel of land or the sensor equipment disposed on the parcel of land;
• perform a condition check of the parcel of land relative to the position determination of the robotic lawnmower as the robotic lawnmower works the parcel of land, and
• provide feedback to the local yard maintenance manager regarding the condition check of the parcel of land relative to the position determination of the robotic lawnmower,
• wherein the sensor equipment is configured to provide feedback on the growing conditions to the local yard maintenance manager,
• wherein the local yard maintenance manager is configured to determine if the condition check indicates that the growing conditions are within predetermined growing condition parameters and direct the task performance equipment based on the determination if the condition check indicates that the growing conditions are within the predetermined growing condition parameters,
• wherein the sensor equipment or the task performance equipment is configured to receive power from the robotic lawnmower, via inductive or wireless power transfer, responsive to the robotic lawnmower passing proximate the sensor equipment or the task performance equipment.
