These are the types of drones that OSE is interested in developing and using.

Aerial

  • Surveying - aerial photographs of the property
  • Photogrammetry - actual elevation surveying for land elevation
  • Tree cover and plant growth - NVDI imaging
  • Augmented vision for construction -
  • Internet range extension in the form of flying repeaters. Long distance LAN networking with self-landing, self-charging operation
  • Fixed wing, tailsitter, VTOL fixed wing, copter versions
  • Terrestrial drone aerial drone carrier - for range extension, charging on Slow Solar Operation

Features

  • Solar powered charging
  • Solar in-flight charging - rollout flexible PV panel
  • Automated landing pad with automated charging
  • Swarming - around a master drone, each drone repeats same action as master drone, programmable for specific distance between drones

Terrestrial

  • Automated grading bulldozers
  • Remote control and mission planned tractors for earthworks
  • Automated pond digger
  • Mission planned posthole digger
  • Geofenced mowing robots
  • Remote control forestry vehicles
  • Automated brick delivery robots for CEB construction - carrying bricks for wall laying
  • RTK GPS precision backhoe for digging square holes, trenches, and precision earthworks

Features

  • Geofencing
  • Swarming - communicating between units to divide up a task or to multiplex the same task
  • Accurate RTK GPS positioning for elevation for keyline plowing and swaling
