Bill of Materials (robot)

Why

To solve ‣, ‣, ‣, ‣ problems, we’re building a single-colony robotic beehive, capable of automating inspections.

Vision and Positioning

Single-colony robot costs too much (>2000 EUR) to be cost-efficient in large scales. Because of this, it is unlikely that ‣ or ‣ (that have >20 beehives) will buy it. Instead, we are targeting people that value exterior ‣ to compliment their brand.

Clients / Target audience

• ‣ ← as a shiny and safe beehive that can also teach them beekeeping
• ‣ ← as a way to research how bees are behaving and avoid disturbing neighbours
• ‣ ← for office roof as a brand building hardware and a in-house honey perk

How

Main flow is to:

• extract hive frame using ‣
• take photos from both sides
• upload to the Web-app where it will be processed for health status
