Spyros Lalis of UTH gave a talk about “Elevating Drones as first-class citizens in the Cloud-edge-IoT continuum“at the 2nd AIoTwin Summer School, which took place on the 16th and 17th of September in Dubrovnik. The talk presented work done at CSL/UTH during the last years on drone-based systems and how drones can become part of modern system infrastructures to support advanced sensing/actuation applications. The talk also included a short presentation of the MLSysOps project and the smart agriculture use case which uses a drone in tandem with a tractor to improve weed detection and reduce the usage of pesticides.
