- It aims to spray pesticides 10 times faster and with 100 percent precision at the same cost as manual spraying.
- The drone will work well on crops 1-1.5 m tall.
- It is equipped with a multispectral imaging camera to map a farmland based on crop health.
- This project also won the Indian Innovation Growth Programme (IIGP 2.0) University Challenge held at IIT Bombay in June 2019.
