Abstract

In recent times, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology is widely applied in various agricultural applications. However, when a WSN becomes large and complex, it is difficult to maintain and adjust the whole WSN or multiple WSNs manually. Therefore, we propose an UAV-based scheme for automatic delivery and recovery of WSN nodes in the field. This scheme includes a combination of specially designed UAV, node platforms together with a GNSS-RTK (Global Navigation Satellite System, Real – Time Kinematic) system. A prototype system was built to test the UAV-based scheme. The results and analyses of indoor and outdoor experiments demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of the scheme.
