00:00In the observation of some, young people are already interested in farming.
00:15But a group of students wants to embark through science,
00:20so they developed a drone that can monitor pests and spray pesticides.
00:26Let's go check out their prototype that may change the game.
00:30In the problem of pests in crops,
00:37there is an Arduino-based drone robot innovation to the rescue.
00:44It can fly with a total flight distance of 40 kilometers.
00:51Equipped with computer vision,
00:56it can detect pests such as golden apple snail or apple snail.
01:06It can also spray pesticides.
01:13This is the Snail Minator,
01:15your pest monitoring, detection, and pesticide application robot in one.
01:19Developed by Grade 10 students from Regional Science High School 3 in Olongapo City.
01:25This is the species that is not found in rice fields.
01:29It eats rice stem for 1 to 30 days.
01:37Here it is, let's hold the Snail Minator.
01:40The battery is placed here in its mainframe.
01:44This is a 3D printed frame with a propeller that is here so that we can fly the drone.
01:51The most important part of the Snail Minator is the one at the bottom.
01:56Let me start with the container.
01:58Because the container is recycled,
02:00the most important elements and components of the camera are here.
02:05It detects and scans the rice.
02:08When it detects it, it will automatically alert the system and dispense pesticides.
02:16This is a smart agricultural solution where artificial intelligence or AI plays a big role in programming.
02:23For us to fly the Snail Minator, we need a drone operator.
02:28Kurt is here, he is part of the team.
02:31Kurt, it's ready, let's fly it.
02:39For now, the project is being tested.
02:43It was nominated for the 6th Olongapo City Robotics Cup this April 20 to 24.
02:49A promising invention from the grade 10 students here in Olongapo City
02:54that will greatly help to kill pests for our crops.
