Legaleze…1. I will NOT cover the ! USA, nor animal agriculture

2. A lot is happening there as well. Present next year ?

3. I do not know everything about this subject

4. Even if I did, there is a lot I could not share

5. Most omissions are not deliberate. (See 3.) My apologies.

Tens of thousands…• Are drones like … ‘flying robots’ ?

• If so… DJI (China), Parrot (France) and Yamaha (Japan) sold thousands of units, operational in the field NOW

• Main uses: • pesticide spray: > 10 k in China and ~ 2 k in Japan)• scouting / sensing: (0,000)’s across the world• professional uses (00,000)’s and toys (millions)

• And… more to come
