Mini-helicopters in greenhouses: Research project awarded with recognition award for Houska Prize 2024

Greenhouses are currently not up to date with the latest technology. In order to increase food production there, mini-helicopters could be used in the future.  Their task will be to record the condition of the plants 24 hours a day, without GPS and without human assistance.  A team of researchers at the University of Klagenfurt is developing the technological foundations for deploying these “flying helpers”. Their project has been nominated for the Houska Prize 2024.

Two kilometres of flight data: Publication of arguably the largest pool of real-world drone flight measurement data
