In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has been gradually improved, and UAVs have been used more and more widely. "Last year, we learned from our visit that there are also disabled people in Xiamen who have expressed a strong interest in this new business. With the support of Xiamen UAV Industry Association, we organized this training specially," said Chen Jun, director of Xiamen Disabled Employment Service Center.

"In the past, I had to hire four or five people to take medicine every time. It took five days to complete a mountain. It took time, effort and money. A person paid 200 yuan a day and 5000 yuan a time. It took seven or eight times a year, which became a huge expense."
Now, having learned UAV technology, Lin Xiaoliang decided to take the lead in applying it to his orchard. "Compared with the traditional backpack spraying, it is safer for us to use drones to control diseases and pests, save water, and separate people from drugs.
