THE Department of Science and Technology (DoST) has developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system utilizing drones to optimize farm management.

Specifically, the DoST's Harmonized Aerial Watch and Knowledge-Based Survey (Asimov-Hawks) group developed Hawks AI that utilizes drones equipped with cameras that capture real-time visuals, enabling crop disease detection, crop inventory and other related applications. A key feature of the technology is its ability to generate measurements, such as crop count.
