This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,938.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Robotic rover', addressed the need for autonomous drones to monitor properties. However, it had limitations in terms of comprehensive coverage and adaptability to changing environmental conditions. The new invention overcomes these limitations by introducing a swarm of robotic rovers that work together to ensure thorough property monitoring and adapt to various environmental factors.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new invention introduces a swarm of robotic rovers that collaborate to ensure comprehensive coverage of a property, whereas the original patent only described a single drone. The use of AI-powered analytics, real-time data, and predictive modeling to optimize animal detection and deterrence is also a significant departure from the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include the use of different types of sensors, such as thermal imaging or acoustic sensors, or the integration of other technologies, such as drones or satellite imaging, to enhance the system's capabilities. Variations could also include adapting the system for use in different environments, such as urban or wilderness areas.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The autonomous robotic rover swarm system has significant commercial potential in the property monitoring and animal control industries. It could be marketed to property owners, agricultural companies, and government agencies, offering a more effective and efficient solution for detecting and deterring unwanted animals.
