The
FutureRice Program will be hosting a workshop on Drone Technology on February
26-27 at the IPR Rm., FTIC Bldg., PhilRice with resource speakers from
University of Southern Mindanao, SkyEye, Inc. of Ateneo Innovation Center and
UAS Unmanned Systems Consulting.
The objective of this
workshop is to gain knowledge from industry experts, review proposals on the
use of drone for rice R&D, identify and prepare final protocols for
drone-based projects.
In October 2014, the FutureRice Program, headed by Roger Barroga, spearheaded the use of drone at PhilRice in collaboration with University of Southern Mindanao (USM). The initial activity was conducted to make a comparison of the MOET APP and other fertilizer management technologies by taking aerial photos and videos on two experimental sites in Zambales area. The resulting images, taken from the sky, presented a whole new view of reality. The seminar that followed created a huge interest among PhilRice researchers on the use of drone technology. Several proposals were submitted late last year, hence, this workshop will take a closer look into the potential of drone technology for rice research and development.

FutureRice program aims to sponsor the utilization of drone technology for PhilRice researchers by:
(1) Providing training on
drone flight navigation to interested users,
(2) Developing sensing
system for different kinds of research setups,
(3) Assisting researchers
in acquiring their own drone,
(4) Complying with
government rules and regulations regarding the legal use of UAVs,
(5) Giving technical
support
The FutureRice Program
generally aims to prepare the farmers for future rice farming scenarios through
its four (4) major components: Knowledge Management, Establishment of Smart
Farms, Rice Academy and Farm Automation.
