The problem we are exploring addresses agricultural markets such as small scale farmers using greenhouses to grow crops. They feel extremely frustrated by the need to manually pollinate their crops or rent bees to do it for them which takes up their precious time and money. Our UAVs will help agricultural industries who want to have an autonomous pollination system by avoiding manual labor costs, bee import costs, and possible environmental contamination by enabling drone pollination for their greenhouse.

Our UAV pollination system helps greenhouse farmers who want to pollinate their crops by reducing manual labor costs and enabling autonomous pollination inside of their greenhouse.
