Unmanned vehicles have been around for years that monitor fields and assist with farm or crop management. Still, it’s a growing area with lots of niches where the demand hasn’t been met. One example is the prediction of fruit crop yields. Recently, some terrestrial vehicles have been offered with the added software to monitor fruits in orchards but they are relatively slow and expensive still. Especially in the business of Class 1 apples, predicting the yields is a valuable prospect. The current accepted rate is missing actual output by 15% either way.

The rapid construction and development of the global built environment has led to serious noise pollution, with adverse effects on personal health, the environment, productivity and the reliability of electronic systems and other mechanical structures.

In aquaculture, the food costs represent approximately 45% of the operating costs in a fish farm. Thus, the reduction of food costs is essential to achieve the sustainability of such industry, existing great potential both in the reduction of food costs per unit and through the adoption of appropriate food management strategies.
