FLO-Automatic pollination drone
artificial intelligence image processing combined with automatic pollination function to design.
How does it work?
1.Fill pollen into drone pollen box
2.Put positioning flags around the orchard so that drones can scan the orchard terrain map
3.Select the drone on the flat panel to drag the landing aircraft to the area to be pollinated
4.Interface operation drone takes off to the designated orchard area
5.Pollinate
6.Click the drone to view, and you can see the real-time image and pollen residue on the right
7.return
Why is it needed?
More than 1/3 of the world's crops rely on bees pollination, and up to 170000 plants rely on bees mediation.
In 2018-2019, 50 billion bees died worldwide, causing flowers to be unable to pollinate, leading to rising prices, global food shortages and famine.
In recent years, a large number of bees have died due to the problems of the earth's environment. Most farmers use artificial pollination, which increases the labor force of farmers. In order to help farmers reduce the burden, we use artificial intelligence image processing combined with automatic pollination function to design this automatic pollination drone.
How does it improve life?
1. Simplify the steps
Image detection flower - pollen tube aimed at flower - spray pollen
2. High efficiency
Front and rear cameras can more accurately identify the position of flowers, fly to the height of flowers, and quickly pollinate flowers.
3. Save time and manpower
The user can monitor many drones at the same time by using the APP.
