Their instinct is to stay put, which means they don't run when the tractor comes.
A drone flies over the field, maps where the fawns are staying put, sends a message to automated tractors to reroute.
This is probably the most "feel good" application of drones. That and detecting landmines.
- Muromec 2y agoThat’s exactly the opposite of what thermal drones are use most of the other time

- infecto 2y agoIs it? I believe the commercial application for drones with thermal cameras is fairly well establish at this point. You can spot a lot of things in buildings, transmission lines, etc.
- baq 2y agoThe ops point is that after you spot them you call in old fashioned artillery.
- mschuster91 2y agoBesides deer protection and wildlife management in general, they're used in SAR and police - especially in mountainous or forest areas, it's just soooo much faster to send a quick-response team with thermal drones than to travel by foot or wait for a chopper to show up. Obviously in rough weather you still need a legit chopper, but for stuff like "find someone who didn't return from a hike/called for an emergency without knowing where he precisely is" they're just fine. On the infrastructure side, you can use thermal drones in construction planning to detect if/where a building is losing heat, spot (beginning) defects in industrial installations and inspect if a power line is still working acceptably. DJI also pairs the thermal camera with a decent photo camera so you don't need to send up two drones for the job.
