我們提出一種自動化澆水方式最佳化地匹配植物吸水行為，藉由多重感測點布建於根部周圍區域與根部底下區域。澆灌的水滴速度是被最佳化的，藉由維持一個平衡狀態的目標，基於植物根系底部的水分流失流速數值與根系周圍土壤濕度數值。此方法獨特的優點是我們的方法能夠應用在不同種類的植物與能夠根據天氣狀況調整。

We propose an automatic irrigation method that optimally matches to crop water uptake by multiple-sensing in the root zone and the root bottom areas. The irrigation discharge rate is optimized by maintaining a balance state of the target soil based on the root bottom drainage flow value and root zone water content value. The unique advantage of our approach is that our solution is applicable to all types of crops and is adaptive to all weather conditions.
