What about wheeled robot for this task? Something like Curiosity to access remote areas and use a drone to refill the seed container. Afaik it’s not enough to drop a seed on the ground and wheeled robot could drill small hole to put properly seed inside. Nice application, but who pays for this?
- swarnie_ 9y ago>A drone loaded with germinated seeds fires pods into the ground My reading of this implies the seed ends up underground. A drone seems like the best answer here to get maximum accessibility and speed. Reaching 100k a day with a wheeled robot would be tricky.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoWe're really talking fleet of drones vs. fleet of wheeled robots here; wheeled robots, even if slower in deployment, will be able to carry more seed pods (reducing turnaround time) and will be orders of magnitude more energy-efficient - i.e. cheaper to operate and better for the planet. As cool as flying is, I'm all for ground solutions on this one.
