AUTOMATED POLLINATION ROBOTS

The article is devoted to analyzing the current state of beekeeping in Ukraine, where a high bee mortality rate and significant industry losses have been recorded due to military actions and the influence of negative environmental factors. A concept for creating a robotic complex for pollination and honey collection, integrating modern achievements in robotics, artificial intelligence, and sensor technologies, is proposed. The design features of pollinating drones, their sensor systems, energy supply, as well as control and protection measures are described. The need to minimize the impact on natural bee populations and ensure the ecological compatibility of the proposed system is substantiated. The comprehensive approach to beekeeping automation allows for increased industry efficiency while maintaining ecosystem balance.
