Using drones to count sheep doesn't require looping. Drones employ farinfrared scanning or thermal sensing technology and can use algorithms to count the number of sheep. If any sheep are missing, they can promptly search around the path that the sheep have traveled.
Drones can replace shepherds or sheepdogs. Through remote control operation, or by flying at low altitude and using sound, they can drive the flock of sheep to areas with abundant grass and water. They can also, like sheepdogs, herd scattered sheep back into the flock.
Drones can conduct scans within several kilometers around the flock of sheep. If any predators such as wolves, jackals, or leopards are detected, signals such as sound, light, and electricity can be emitted to drive them away in advance. For instance, the roar of a Tibetan mastiff can be imitated to intimidate the wolf pack, or sound and light projectiles can be thrown to scare the wolves, making them retreat in the face of difficulty.
When there is insufficient grass on the ground in winter or spring, corn, soybeans and other concentrated feed or mixed pellet feed can be dropped onto the livestock herd by unmanned aircraft. In case of snow disasters and when the livestock herd is trapped, feed and concentrated feed can also be remotely delivered.
On the grassland, there are some wild poisonous plants and some invasive alien plants. If the poisonous plants spread unchecked, livestock will die or fall ill after eating them. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress or kill these poisonous plants. Now, with the use of drones, through algorithms, the drones can automatically identify the growth areas of these poisonous plants and use specific herbicides to eliminate them.
In A-B point operation mode, farmers can set point A and B as the apex of the working area, and control the flying direction manually. Then the aircraft will automatically spray in accordance with the established route. When there is no medicine in the medicine box, the aircraft will hover at a fixed point and record it. After fulfilling the medicament, the aircraft will fly back to the point where it stopped and continues its work. This mode is more suitable for working in a regular large area.
Automatical map planning operation mode, farmers can operate the working area through the phone's APP map. This mode is mainly used for complex fields. To select the multi-point and multilateral planning of the field to operate, and it can automatically create the route. If there are obstacles in the work area, you can set this area as avoidance place and the aircraft will pass it automatically.
During the flight, through the drone's real-time frontscanning of the obstacle avoidance radar, you canobserve the direction and distance of the obstacle infront of it. When the obstacle came in the warningarea, the drone will automatically stop and record theinterrupted coordinate points. Then you can controlthe drone to bypass obstacles through your remotecontrol. After then drone can automatically return tothe designated route recording point and continueworking
