TIA Team’s Lambulance Aims to Monitor Lamb Health #drone #droneday
Gotta call it, this name is so good. From ABC.net.au:
Drones fitted with infra-red cameras could soon be flying over paddocks helping sheep farmers save newborn lambs.
The drones take thermal images of flocks that can then be used to assess the health of lambs.
The so-called ‘lambulance’ is a concept devised by a team at the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA).
“The ewe and the lamb have a heat signature,” lambulance co-creator Andrew Bailey said.
“What we’re trying to do is relate that heat signature to the likelihood of success for that animal staying alive.”
