Development of self-adaptable, versatile, and wireless smart electronic units to perform multiple tasks in controlled and outdoor agricultural environments (RFT-750)

Invention Summary

The "Dronwer" is an innovative system designed to transform data collection in greenhouses and potentially for use in outdoor environments. It operates by moving along an aluminum extrusion rail powered by an electric stepper motor. The movement is facilitated by gear racks embedded within the aluminum track, enabling the Dronwer to cover long distances and large areas precisely.
