Autonomous system for evenly dispensing livestock feed

A system for at least substantially autonomous feed delivery from a motorized vehicle for evenly dispensing a specified amount of a prescribed feed ration a specified distance to or along each of one or more specified feed bunks or feed drop locations, the system comprising:

• a. a motorized vehicle with an engine for transmission of motive power to the vehicle and output power for other use, and with vehicle steering and braking capabilities;
• b. a bulk feed box mounted on the vehicle;
• c. a feed dispensing subsystem mounted on and operatively connected to output power of the motorized vehicle, including mechanized components to move feed from the bulk feed box to outward of the bulk feed box;
• d. an automation controller mounted on the motorized vehicle and operatively connected to both the motive power and braking capabilities of the motorized vehicle and to the feed dispensing subsystem, the automation controller programmed for:
• i. receiving pre-established input data regarding geolocation of each said bunk or feed drop location, and the ration density, type, and amount for each said bunk or drop;
• ii. receiving input data regarding motorized vehicle speed;
• iii. receiving input data regarding state of one or more mechanized components of the feed delivery subsystem;
• and
• iv. automatically controlling, in coordination, both one or more mechanized components of the feed dispensing subsystem of the motorized vehicle as well as most driver inputs for the motorized vehicle, including vehicle speed, for each said feed bunk or drop;
• e. so that, even and accurate rations prescribed for each said feed bunk or drop location are promoted to, in turn, reduce human error and improve efficacy and efficiency of feed delivery for a livestock producer.
