Applications
Corvus Drones BV
The autonomous flying greenhouse drone is combining robotics, computer vision and artificial intelligence technology. The drone at itself is an integration of unique navigation software (embedded and cloud), low level control software (off the shelve, open source), electronics (battery, load balancer), sensors (RGB camera) and hardware (3D print). For growers it saves costs and is the base for data gathering (for example autonomous growing).

NEXTdriver
All horticultural products have to be transported to factories, processing plants or distribution centers to eventually end up at consumer markets. Currently, the logistics sector is one of the more polluting sectors of the Netherlands (and the world) and every percent of fuel saved corresponds to 1 metric ton of CO2 in emissions saved. Using the NEXTdriver coaching solution, a larger amount of horticultors will become environmentally friendly and can show a reduced emission footprint to their clients. Besides that, drivers become more relaxed and traffic safety improves.
