Abstract
A remotely-piloted aircraft for distributing beneficial insects on a target area is provided. The aircraft includes an enclosure, including a top lid, one or more internal compartments, a door for each of the one or more internal compartments, and an actuator to open and close each of the doors. The aircraft also includes a circuit to control the actuators, a wireless receiver, coupled to the circuit, to receive commands to open and close the doors, and one or more power sources to power the actuators and the wireless receiver. An operator controls the aircraft and the circuit with at least one of a wireless transmitter and an uploaded program in the circuit. When the wireless receiver receives a command to open a door, the circuit controls an actuator corresponding to the door. The actuator opens the door, and the beneficial insects are distributed from internal compartments.
