Abstract
In some embodiments, methods and systems of defending a crop-containing area against crop-damaging pests include an unmanned aerial vehicle including a sensor that detects one or more pests in the crop-containing area and an output device configured to eliminate the pest from the crop-containing area. One or more docking stations configured to accommodate the UAV are provided. A computing device configured to communicate with the UAV and the docking station over a network is provided. The UAV is configured to send pest detection data captured by a sensor of the UAV while patrolling the crop-containing area. In return, the computing device is configured to send a signal to the UAV to indicate instructions to the UAV as to how to move or activate the output device in order to eliminate the detected pest from the crop-containing area.
