Remotely Piloted Systems

This is a media curation page for the PIRatE Lab's AARR Program.  We are developing practical, low cost programs to monitor resources in our coastal zone (the land near the ocean and the ocean near the land) with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs aka "drones") overhead and subtidal Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) .  Enjoy!!

UAS Magazine – The Latest News on Unmanned Aerial Systems - Drones track bees to improve pollination and crop production

UAS Magazine – The Latest News on Unmanned Aerial Systems - Drones track bees to improve pollination and crop production | Remotely Piloted Systems | Scoop.it
From www.uasmagazine.com - February 7, 2019 9:43 PM
A collaboration between Bee Innovative, an Australian startup company, and the University of North Dakota's UAS program will use drones to track bees. The technology has been used successfully by Australian farmers to increase crop yields.
Tyler Kacereks insight:
Tracking bees and aiding in increasing their efficiency helps us as well as the bees.  With 30% of the worlds food supply coming from pollinated crops, this is a great advancement.

PIRatE Lab's curator insight, May 30, 2016 11:03 AM
When we think about the future in ten years, we’re going to see smaller machines rather than big ones,” said Rowbot’s founder Kent Cavender-Bares in a recent conversation of This Week in Startups podcast. The 64-row corn planters that crawl across the Heartland today are so large and expensive that they only make sense for the most gargantuan, and debt-worthy, farmers. They’re so heavy they compact the soil. And they don’t work if you decide to plant a rye, sorghum or anything besides corn. In contrast, Rowbot is small enough to get between the rows of corn, dropping fertilizer in microdoses, when the crop needs it. Much less fertilizer gets wasted and runs off the field to contaminate the water supply. These are things a big tractor simply cannot do. “Let’s say we just wanted to mix corn and soybeans on the same field. Today you can’t do that easily at scale.
