Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles, or drones, are used extensively across China to revolutionise and optimise farming.
A drone flies over rice fields at 8 metres per second, sowing rice seeds in the afternoon in Liantang village, Huangpu district, Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province.
In just 30 minutes, 300 mu (20 hectares) of rice fields are sown. Across the farmland, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including soil sensors, weather stations, and smart cameras, send data back to the "farm brain" every 15 minutes.
"One drone can manage 500 mu of farmland, enabling fully unmanned cultivation," said Gong Jiaqin, co-founder and senior vice president of XAG, an agritech robot maker.
