Adequate pollination is crucial for ensuring sufficient fertilization and maximizing crop yield.
However, natural pollinators are increasingly affected by multiple threats, including habitat …

Highlights•A new quadrotor pollinator is introduced.•The pollinator is designed, simulated,
and fabricated.•Modelling, control and simulation of the pollinator and pollination are …

The global decrease in native pollinators poses a substantial challenge to agricultural
production and food security, particularly in malnutrition prone countries. There is a huge …

Pollination is the first step in the plant's fruit development. Therefore, fruit setting does not
occur without pollination. Some problems encountered in natural pollination cause …

Pollination is an essential component of plant production, but today, agricultural fields suffer
from a shortage of natural pollinators due to a variety of factors. To solve this serious …

Pollination is an important factor in crop growth, but agricultural fields are currently suffering
from the lack of natural pollinators due to a variety of factors. Recently, artificial pollination …

Agrivoltaics power generation is the simultaneous use of agricultural land and photovoltaic
panels. In such cases, the panels are placed more sparsely, compared to conventional …

In this paper, the authors' previous work regarding a conceptual drone-assisted autonomous
pollination system (APS) is extended with regards to path planning and flight control. The …

The problem that is often faced by flying robots when carrying out the Vertical Take Off
Landing (VTOL) process is the lack of stability of the vehicle due to differences in wind …

Pollination is a crucial reproductive process that underpins crop yield and quality as well as
sustains other ecosystem services essential for our planet's life. Insects are the largest group …
