About
About Bumblebee
Bumblebee is a type-certified agricultural multirotor built around a 10-litre liquid tank and repeated crop-spraying sorties. SUIND uses a four-camera perception array to track terrain, crop structure, slopes and obstacles, augmenting satellite navigation in orchards, dense canopies and other GPS-challenged field conditions.
The application system can deliver up to five litres per minute, while the operating package includes training, service and access to agricultural-equipment subsidy routes. SUIND presents treatment of roughly one acre in six minutes and turnaround below two minutes under its stated workflow. Actual coverage, flow and mission radius depend on crop, terrain, application rate, weather and the approved operating plan.
