MSU’s Agricultural Autonomy Institute Collaborates with Hylio to Develop Next-Generation Agricultural Drones

Mississippi State University’s Agricultural Autonomy Institute (AAI) is collaborating with Hylio, a drone manufacturer, to develop next-generation agricultural drones. The partnership aims to revolutionize farming practices by offering autonomous agricultural spray drones as an alternative to traditional methods.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently relaxed regulations on drone usage for agricultural purposes, which has accelerated research in this area. This change in regulations has prompted Mississippi State University to update its own regulations, allowing them to begin research on spray drone technology.

Through their partnership with Hylio, MSU has acquired an AG-230 spray drone platform and entered into a research agreement. Hylio’s drone technology can cover significant acreage in a short amount of time, similar to a tractor, making it a promising tool for farmers.

Both MSU and Hylio are dedicated to advancing drone technology for agricultural use, with the goal of making this technology more accessible to American farmers in the near future. The collaboration between the two organizations is seen as mutually beneficial, combining MSU’s expertise in autonomous systems and drone research with Hylio’s technological advancements.
