The Humla Forestry Drone is a forest planner’s best friend - Yanko Design

Wood planning is quite literally, from especially the scale of the task, a very difficult job. A handful of planners are required to cover massive lengths of ground, capturing the health of the forest, noting down aspects of its biodiversity, and basically capturing the forest on paper, and so its protection can be washed with utmost efficiency. It's a tough, thankless job that requires months of piece of work, and a human is expected to cover massive ground… but what if engineering science could practice that?

The Humla Forestry Drone was congenital for this chore. Small enough to be carried effectually on your person, the Humla sits strapped to your chest, and can be detached and deployed from anywhere. Iii hubless propellers let the Humla to fly around unencumbered, preventing them from getting stuck in branches, or worse, harming animals, and three strategically placed cameras can capture events from every single angle. Designed to aid forest planners with documenting every aspect of the forest, the Humla helps in completing menial tasks, like marking borders and protected areas. I suppose information technology could extend its utilize farther and also be used as a forest patrol drone, to help rangers take care of their forests! When not in utilize, the Humla docks on a chest-mounted power-pack which charges it.

The Humla Forestry Drone is a winner of the iF Pattern Talent Laurels for the year 2018.
