Autonomous tree pruning trial in the Ilam Gardens undertaken by UC DroneLab at the University of Canterbury. www.canterbury.ac.nz/engineering/ucdronelab
I was just wishing I had a drone with a chainsaw to prune a limb that I can't reach. These would be dangerous, so I doubt I'll have access to one any time soon, though.
Google "rope saw" It's basically a $30 flexible blade attached to a rope on each side that you tug back and forth. I would use a drone to lift the rope over the branch you want to cut.
Gotta get me one of those
Congratulations! you cut one branch and now your battery is dead. Good job 👍
The hard part is climbing up there to glue the little red disc onto the branch.
What disk
@@user-qj9lt2fy9m At :25 it looks like a red disc has been glued to the branch, presumably to guide the drone to the place to make the cut.
Oh I thought that was a computer generated target
And the red vertical line at :10 was also glue to the tree. Then it disappeared.
very cool
Where can I buy this? 😮
how it is worked?
Hi Selva. It works using computer vision. Take a look here www.canterbury.ac.nz/engineering/ucdronelab/computer-science-and-software-engineering/
