The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to a method for
pruning plants through an intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle, and the method comprises the following steps: starting the intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle to take off and navigate to a working area, and enabling a camera on the intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle to recognize a target
plant, the intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle adjusts the position of the intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle to the height suitable for
pruning according to the recognition result, the shearing device is started, the
plant is guided into the range of the shearing device through the front guide-in device, and
pruning is completed. Through combination of the intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle and the
plant pruning device, the intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle can efficiently prune plants, the flying capability of the intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle is utilized, the effects of no
terrain influence and no plant height influence can be achieved, plant pruning can be achieved, the top ends of the plants can be pruned, and the
growth height of the plants can be limited; by adjusting the flying angle, the purpose of pruning plants at different angles is achieved, the labor intensity is relieved, and safety is improved.
