Artificial intelligence developed for spray drone modified to monitor fields for weeds, disease or even insect infestations
Regina-based Precision AI is having a great year.
Last summer, during the Ag In Motion outdoor farm show held near Saskatoon, the company launched its autonomous, fixed-wing drone that uses artificial intelligence to identify and treat individual weeds within a broad-acre-crop canopy.
In March, it won numerous international awards for the drone, including the Cooperative Innovation Challenge at the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit held in San Francisco. As well, it’s a finalist in BloombergNEF’s 2023 Pioneers Award.
