Our Technology in use Today, and its Limitations
Today's Technology
Drones have been used successfully in agriculture for years.
-
They deliver pesticides and herbicides efficiently to plants.
-
These drones use an advanced system of sensors and cameras to identify routes and to ensure complete coverage.
In addition to being employed in agriculture, other fields, like the military have employed similar technology:
-
Drones with smart technology to identify and eliminate targets autonomously.
-
The ISE will bring the search engine technology employed by the military to the field of agriculture.
​
Today's Technological Limitations
-
Most drone batteries are rechargeable, but the battery can take considerable time to recharge. We address this with a drone landing bay that enables the drone to independently change out its battery.
-
Another significant limitation of agricultural drones is that they break and need repairs. We address this with a fully equipped landing bay and a drone that is programmed to perform autonomous repairs. When our drone is broken, it simply repairs itself.
-
Finally, agricultural drones are designed with sprayers that cover a wide area. The targeted approach we follow is aimed to have a limited impact. Therefore, we will have a telescoping needle to deliver pesticides and herbicides, making the process as safe as possible.
