Google I/O 17 SL, by Mobitel - Drones - Its Revolution and Evolution

I'm back with the second major item on Mobitel's agenda. A presentation called "Drones - its revolution and evolution", delivered by Manju Gunawardene.

The presentation is, predictably, on the role of Drones in the future of Sri Lanka. Manju Gunawardene is a little technical -  and anyone that isn't conversant with the field may start to lose interest, as evidenced by looking around at the audience.

However, it sounds like the use of drones has really helped the government analyse the dump at Meethotamulla, and even identify difficulties in relocating the garbage and find even as much as an underground pond.

He goes on to illustrate the use of drones in precision agriculture, and other similar application fields. Their real strength is in data collection so that actual variances and differences can be detected by actual experts, then acted upon by the concerned parties.
