Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5

Problem
Addressed

The project addresses inefficiencies in traditional agricultural practices by eliminating manual scouting and enabling quick, large-area coverage. It automates repetitive tasks like spraying, watering, and disease monitoring within orchards. The drone enhances precision and scalability by leveraging AI for plant health assessment and pest detection. It can also adapt to other domains, such as railway track and river monitoring.

About the
Technology

The Al Agriculture Drone autonomously navigates your fields using advanced Al algorithms, eliminating the need for manual scouting. The drone can identify plantation, and passage within orchards/trees and can traverse within the orchard with ease. This technology enables farmers automate repetitive task and cover larger areas. The drone can also, traverse tree lines and automate tasks such as spraying and watering along with aerial inspection for diseases on the fly.
  • Identify plant types and health status
  • Detect potential issues like pests
  • This cost-effective smart wheelchair enhances accessibility. empowering users with improved mobility and autonomy.
  • Eliminate the need for manual scouting
  • Cover large areas quickly and efficiently
  • Automate repetitive tasks

Application Areas & Use Cases

  • This drone technology is trained over tree line, orchards and hence strong use cases are:
  • Peach/Apple orchard scouting
  • Tree line spraying
  • Railway track inspection
  • This technology can also be retrained for various other applications such as autonomous river monitoring, algal estimation, etc.
