Abstract

Smart and Precision Agriculture is nowadays already exploiting advanced drones and machinery, but it is foreseen that in the near future more complex and intelligent applications will be required to be brought on-board to improve qualitatively and quantitative production. In this paper, we present an overview on the current usage of autonomous drones in this field and on the augmented computing capabilities that they could count on when companion computers are coupled to flight controllers. The paper also present a novel architecture for companion computers that is under development within the Comp4Drones ECSEL-JU project.
