Robotic system and method for application of health-based product

A robotic system for delivery of a health-based product to a beehive entrance, comprising:

• a movable frame;
• a navigation system disposed on the movable frame and configured to determine a location of the beehive entrance;
• a product tank disposed on the movable frame, the product tank configured to hold the health-based product;
• an applicator including a dispensing end, the applicator being in fluid communication with the product tank;
• a fogger assembly disposed on the movable frame, the fogger assembly in fluid communication with the product tank and the applicator;
• and
• a controller in communication with the movable frame, the navigation system, the applicator, and the fogger assembly, the controller configured to:
• position the movable frame adjacent the beehive entrance,
• dispose the applicator to the beehive entrance,
• dispose the dispensing end of the applicator through the beehive entrance,
• activate the fogger assembly, and
• deliver the health-based product from the fogger assembly through the beehive entrance when the applicator is disposed through the beehive entrance.

A robotic system for delivery of a health-based product to a beehive entrance, comprising:

• a movable frame;
• a navigation system disposed on the movable frame and configured to detect a location of the beehive;
• a product tank disposed on the movable frame, the product tank configured to hold the health-based product;
• a fogger assembly disposed on the movable frame, the fogger assembly in fluid communication with the product tank;
• a boom disposed on the movable frame, the boom configured to extend and retract relative to the movable frame;
• an applicator coupled to the boom, the applicator including a dispensing end, the applicator in fluid communication with the product tank and the fogger assembly;
• a nozzle coupled to the dispensing end of the applicator;
• a turret in coupled to movable frame and rotatably coupled to the boom;
• an arm, the arm rotatably coupled to the boom and coupled to the applicator;
• a wrist, the wrist rotatably coupled to the arm and coupled to the applicator;
• a pump in fluid communication with a fluid supply line, the fogger assembly, and the applicator;
• and
• a controller in communication with the movable frame, the navigation system, the fogger assembly, the applicator, the turret, the boom, and the pump, and the controller configured to:
• position the movable frame adjacent the beehive entrance,
• extend the boom to dispose the dispensing end of the applicator through the beehive entrance,
• activate the fogger assembly,
• control the operation of the pump, and
• deliver the health-based product from the fogger assembly through the beehive entrance when the applicator is disposed through the beehive entrance.
