/Dynamic Agricultural Weed Removal System
Abstract

An agricultural weed removal method for a planted crop plant row that can include operating a weed removing implement tool on an optimized travel path for the implement tool, wherein the implement tool traverses the travel path at least partially around one or more crop plants planted in a row. The method can further include adjusting a trajectory of the travel path for the implement tool based on at least one variable. In addition, the step of adjusting the trajectory of the travel path for the implement tool may be further based on detecting the at least one variable in the travel path. Also, the detected variable may be based on least one or more sensors or cameras secured to a host vehicle. Further, the travel path may include an oscillating type pattern having a crest and a trough.
