I spent the last decade with designing (konstruktion) drone related systems. As a trained lab assistant for biotechnology I wondered if certain data could be measured by a drone, a technology that emerged at the same time. I started building a tricopter that had a raspberry pi companion that was coupled with the multiwii autopilot so that I could take surveys with a simple one channel NIR to have a NDVI. I got hired by a local company that followed the same target and I spend mupltiple years there with UAS system design for agriculture like automatic fawn detection (mech system integration) , reliable trichogramma dispensers (mechanical principle and design) . I also designed a VTOL system (except the profiles) and took part in adapting autopilot funtions to a autonomous hovercraft. -Fun times-

I started my own company right after so I could work on a broader field including 3D-printing, a technology that helped a lot with protoyping previously. I got lost in a few projects but also developed my own copter platform. It got a little turbulent with drone regulations so it didn´t felt very safe to continue working on it.
