Edward is the son of a sheep and cattle farmer, based in Victoria and runs a small business with his wife in the Latrobe Valley. Outside of this, his attention is working with drone technology as a videographer and photographer. Adapting drones to family farming interests and a genuine desire to improve farming efficiencies led Edward to consider the use of AI linked to versatile and mobile technology. With a vast array of technology available to professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts he is pursuing livestock monitoring via a software solution “Autonomous Flight App” that incorporates image recognition that will have broad application and appeal for end users and their technology of choice. Edward has found, from experience and observation, livestock farmers are required to check their assets, infrastructure and livestock regularly regardless of the landscape accessibility or condition of livestock. More specifically livestock monitoring primarily relies on counting stock manually, either as an ‘eye-ball count’ or by using a gated race. Drone-Hand was conceived as a technology based ‘farm-hand in the sky’.
