Scarecrow is a plant protection drone designed for farmland use. The drone completes spraying operations and returns to its base through program control. An eight axis redundant design and an adaptive power protection algorithm allow safe flight even if one axis fails. A sound system plays bird calls to move birds away from the fields without harming them. The main frame is made of carbon fiber, the link parts are 3D printed titanium alloy, and the rotors are injection molded. The rotors also collect wind energy for self charging while the drone waits.
