Biomimetic artificial pollination system using drone and method therof

Abstract

A biomimetic artificial pollination system and method using drones achieves a fully automated process from flower part identification to pollination execution through the collaborative operation of multiple drones, real-time analysis of flight videos by an image recognition module, and dynamic generation of path planning and control commands. This can improve pollination efficiency, reduce labor costs, increase crop yield, and adapt to changing environments.
