Technically I have no experience in using drones. I'm still in the process of knowing and having some knowledge. But to answer the questions
- Describe for what purpose the drones were used and in which context?
- Drones in our institute are mainly used for security, and research. In research, picture captured through drone flights are tested to check presence of pest, and status of plants
- In our part, we are on the verge of using it for pesticide application.
- What challenges were faced using the drones?
- Safety concern and law restrictions
- What lessons can be drawn from this experience?
- As i have said I'm still inexperienced.
- Additional resources (list links to additional information on the experience if available).
