Abstract
A livestock grazing control robotic system provides a movable livestock enclosure than can travel over uneven terrain allowing livestock to graze over different areas, enabling rotational grazing in a cash crop farmland during non-crop time periods. The system includes an enclosure or pen defined by a fencing mechanism. The fencing mechanism is supported by a movable chassis that includes a drivetrain system. The fencing mechanism includes a ground-clearance portion that flexibly covers the area between the chassis and the uneven ground, preventing animals from entering or exiting the enclosure and that can be raised and lowered on command to enable moving of the enclosure. The fencing mechanism may hold water for watering livestock. The system further includes a control module and a power supply that enable autonomous movement of the enclosure according to a grazing plan. The system may receive water and be towed by a water delivery vehicle.
