UAV to UGV

Posted by Melissa Brandao on May 14, 2015 at 6:00pm

Hi Ag group,

I'm new here. Founder/CEO of Rogue Rovers we're building the FarmDogg and working currently on integrating the ardu-pilot into "Sparky" our prototype.

My first question to the group is really just something I'm so curious about.

Has anyone successfully integrated on-going comm between a UAV and UGV in Ag? I would think this is ideal in farming and I've seen some research work on the subject in Australia and Denmark. Here's the Mantis and Shrimp. Anyone know of others?

  Hi Eduardo,
  
  UGV is unmanned ground vehicle or rover. We are still pretty early days, we've even got a grant through the Ministry of Science and Technology in Brazil which we haven't been able to start working on even though we've already identified our partners in the citrus industry that are ready and willing to start working with us there. Argentina is a great market, and I've really enjoyed my time in Argentina so we will get there!
  
  Cheers,
  
  Melissa

  Hi Daniel,
  
  I knew about Rowbot I didn't know they were integrating with UAVs. Cool! Corn is an ideal crop with the rowbot being low to the ground and out of sight.
