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.
It’s also one of eight companies picked by John Deere for its 2023 Startup Collaborator program.
Daniel McCann, chief executive officer of Precision AI, said the World Agri-Tech Summit was competitive with more than 100 applicants for the award.
