3D printing drone farm monitoring system broke out in the agricultural revolution
3D printers can make your favorite image print, just like a magical space, as long as you think, you can become a reality. So, more and more designers, engineers and maker culture became accustomed to creative beauty on a 3D printer. For Quesney Nevarez, an electrical engineering student from Mexico, this wonderful world has just opened the door to her.
Nevarez, 22, grew up on her own family farm. She developed a 3D printed drone design in Ottawa, Canada this summer. This drone can help farmers monitor their crops from the air – This technology has become increasingly mature and reliable, but for now, her family can't afford the associated costs.
As a result, Nevarez was inspired to design a more economical drone crop monitoring system for his family. The drone system uses off-the-shelf electronics, 3D printed structural parts and housing, and open source software.
In order to obtain accurate crop growth, no one flies over the farm at low altitudes and photographs the sunlight absorption of plants and their photosynthesis levels through near-infrared rays. Based on these data, farmers can improve the use of their water and fertilizers, or otherwise determine the current growth of their crops.
“This can help small farmers like my family make sure their crops are healthy,†she explained. “In the current market, this technology is really expensive... We are trying to make its cost as low as possible so that every small farmer can get his own farm drone monitoring system. â€
Nevarez, from Ciudad Obregón, Mexico, was selected as one of 44 students for his three-month Globalink Internship Program at Carleton University in Ottawa, where they needed to develop or improve existing projects.
“In my school, we don’t have a lot of equipment. It’s a small school. It’s hard to find a 3D printer even in Mexico, but here they have three,†she said. “It’s really different. â€
In this project, Nevarez did a lot of work, and others on her team were looking for new applications for driverless technology, such as low-cost crop monitoring.
“She has a very strong background and has experience in family farms, and this project provides technology for small farmers at home and abroad, so this is a perfect combination,†said Jeremy Laliberté, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace, who led the program. .
According to Nevarez, this is the first time she has been exposed to drones in her life – but she has developed a low-cost open source product that not only helps her family, but also improves the lives of thousands of farmers around the world.
breathable mesh material makes it easy to activate the chilling towel when you simply soak, wring out and snap it. The unique cooling system uses moisture from the towel to draw the sweat away from your skin to keep you cool. Everyone can use the cooling towel.
