Drone people: seeing all this drone warfare stuff in Ukraine has me wondering how difficult/cheap is it to setup automated routines on a drone and have it return to base to charge itself for the next mission?
If this is relatively easy and can be done with cheap drones, I could use to go check animal water/turn them on, test electric fence/find shorts, survey forest/pasture health/status and all of this basically makes it a sentry.
If that works out and we're relatively easy, it would probably be easy to strap on more sensors for better data like LIDAR or thermal is the data proved valuable.
