the unpinned and I have traveled the
the unpinned and I have traveled the world quite a bit with drone systems
world quite a bit with drone systems
world quite a bit with drone systems we’ve have been to Indonesia where we
we’ve have been to Indonesia where we
we’ve have been to Indonesia where we are now we think that conversation

I’ve been in the mean or anything survey
I’ve been in the mean or anything survey work for about the past 20 years when
work for about the past 20 years when
work for about the past 20 years when the unpin and I met up the first time we
the unpin and I met up the first time we
the unpin and I met up the first time we discussed if there was a would be a

discussed if there was a would be a better way to collect data on where
better way to collect data on where
better way to collect data on where these nests are this yard is a little
these nests are this yard is a little
these nests are this yard is a little bit higher so we have to do a bit
bit higher so we have to do a bit
bit higher so we have to do a bit careful there okay we just build a
careful there okay we just build a
careful there okay we just build a simple mission the route that you want
simple mission the route that you want
simple mission the route that you want to fly it’s program to program it by
to fly it’s program to program it by
to fly it’s program to program it by simply clicking waypoints on on a net
simply clicking waypoints on on a net
simply clicking waypoints on on a net what’s the maximum I could find about 40
what’s the maximum I could find about 40
what’s the maximum I could find about 40 kilometers well maybe maybe a little bit
kilometers well maybe maybe a little bit
kilometers well maybe maybe a little bit more but we want to want to be on the
more but we want to want to be on the
more but we want to want to be on the safe side
it’s really a great opportunity to use a
it’s really a great opportunity to use a new technique to help with all the
new technique to help with all the
new technique to help with all the problems conservation is really
problems conservation is really
problems conservation is really difficult maybe cannot but let’s think
difficult maybe cannot but let’s think
difficult maybe cannot but let’s think about let’s sing first
about let’s sing first
about let’s sing first the main objective is the that we do the
the main objective is the that we do the
the main objective is the that we do the orangutan this is because we want to be
orangutan this is because we want to be
orangutan this is because we want to be sure that we have it basically the
sure that we have it basically the
sure that we have it basically the researcher just has to throw the plane
researcher just has to throw the plane
researcher just has to throw the plane in the air and off it will go flying
in the air and off it will go flying
in the air and off it will go flying about its mission
you ever put it up and then go have a
you ever put it up and then go have a beer and then yeah coffee the plane has
beer and then yeah coffee the plane has
beer and then yeah coffee the plane has a small auto pilot in it and then it can
a small auto pilot in it and then it can
a small auto pilot in it and then it can fly that route it’s flying away from us
fly that route it’s flying away from us
fly that route it’s flying away from us again
again
again and we have a still camera in the plane
and we have a still camera in the plane
and we have a still camera in the plane that can take a photo every two seconds
that can take a photo every two seconds
that can take a photo every two seconds and then those photos can be stitched
and then those photos can be stitched
and then those photos can be stitched together to make a mosaic off the whole
together to make a mosaic off the whole
together to make a mosaic off the whole area but this looks quite good yeah can
area but this looks quite good yeah can
area but this looks quite good yeah can you zoom in it works we can detect these
you zoom in it works we can detect these
you zoom in it works we can detect these nests so these systems can help to find
nests so these systems can help to find
nests so these systems can help to find out where our any things are and that’s
out where our any things are and that’s
out where our any things are and that’s something that’s very useful for lots of
something that’s very useful for lots of
something that’s very useful for lots of conservation workers because they would
conservation workers because they would
conservation workers because they would like to see what changes are in landings
like to see what changes are in landings
like to see what changes are in landings for instance the goal is to try to see
for instance the goal is to try to see
for instance the goal is to try to see how this technology can be used to help
how this technology can be used to help
how this technology can be used to help people with their conservation projects
people with their conservation projects
people with their conservation projects one of the things we would like this
one of the things we would like this
one of the things we would like this technology to to go to is two systems
technology to to go to is two systems
technology to to go to is two systems that have a longer range so they can fly
that have a longer range so they can fly
that have a longer range so they can fly farther away so we can explore certain
farther away so we can explore certain
farther away so we can explore certain areas that haven’t been explored yet
