Eco-drones tsopano akuwunika momwe chilengedwe chikuyendera

Makanema apakatikati nthawi zambiri amawonetsa magalimoto osayendetsedwa ndi ndege (UAV), omwe amadziwikanso kuti drones, ngati makina owunikira anthu ambiri omwe amatumizidwa kumadera ankhondo. Kuphunzira kumeneku nthawi zambiri kumanyalanyaza kutchula kufunika kwawo pakufufuza za chilengedwe. Faculty of Environmental Design ku yunivesite ya Calgary imakhulupirira kuti ma drones adzatsegula dziko latsopano la mwayi kwa ofufuza.

"M'zaka zingapo zikubwerazi, tikuyembekeza kuwonjezereka kwa kugwiritsa ntchito ndege zopanda munthu pazochitika zazikulu za Dziko Lapansi ndi zachilengedwe," akutero pulofesa wothandizira ndi wapampando wa kafukufuku wa Cenovus Chris Hugenholtz wa Faculty of Environmental Design (EVDS). “Monga wasayansi wa Dziko Lapansi, nthawi zambiri ndimakonda kuona maso a mbalame pamalo amene ndachita kafukufukuyo kuti ndiwonjezere kapena kuonjezera miyeso yopangidwa pansi,” anatero Hugenholtz. "Drones imatha kupanga izi ndipo imatha kusintha mbali zambiri zapadziko lapansi komanso kafukufuku wachilengedwe."

Pazaka khumi zapitazi, ma eco-drones alola asayansi ndi akatswiri azachilengedwe kujambula zithunzi, kufufuza masoka achilengedwe komanso kuyang'anira ntchito zochotsa zinthu zosaloledwa. Ma data awa amagwiritsidwa ntchito pokhazikitsa ndondomeko ndikukhazikitsa njira zoyendetsera masoka ndi ndondomeko zochepetsera zoopsa. Kuphatikiza apo, amalola asayansi kuyang'anira zochitika zachilengedwe monga kukokoloka kwa mitsinje ndi njira zaulimi. Ubwino waukulu woperekedwa ndi ma drones umagwirizana ndi kuwongolera zoopsa; drones amalola asayansi kusonkhanitsa deta kuchokera kumalo owopsa popanda kuika chitetezo chaumwini. 

Mwachitsanzo, m’chaka cha 2004 bungwe la US Geological Survey (USGS) linayesa zida za drone pofufuza zochitika pa Mount St. Helen. Iwo adawonetsa kuti makina amatha kugwiritsidwa ntchito moyenera kujambula zomwe zili m'malo ovuta kufikako. Ma drones adatha kujambula deta pamalo odzaza phulusa ndi sulfure. Kuyambira pulojekiti yopambanayi, opanga achepetsa kukula kwa makamera, zowunikira kutentha ndipo nthawi imodzi apanga njira zowongolera komanso zowongolera.

Mosasamala kanthu za ubwino wake, kugwiritsa ntchito ma drones kumatha kuwonjezera mtengo wofunikira pantchito zofufuza. Ku United States, ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito zimatha kuyambira $10,000 mpaka $350,000. Zotsatira zake, mabungwe ambiri ochita kafukufuku amayesa mtengo wake asanadzipereke kugwiritsa ntchito. Mwachitsanzo, bungwe la National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) likuwunika ngati kuli koyenera kulipira ndege yopanda phokoso m'malo mwa helikopita pofufuza mitundu ya mbalame.
