Abstract:

A chicken in every pot, a car in every garage, and a drone in every barn? UAVs have been promised to revolutionize agriculture and Daniel McKinnon from 3D Robotics looks forward to sharing what has and hasn’t worked for drones in ag with the UC Berkeley community. Daniel looks forward to talking about optimizing fertilizer for row crops, selecting the finest grapes in vineyards, saving water for pistachio growers, and much more.
