Unmanned aerial vehicles have been available for more than a decade and have been part of tests and efforts to be incorporated in agricultural applications, which was achieved to a minor degree. Still, advancements in science and technology in the same period have achieved maturity allowing the transition of this found knowledge into farming decision-making agents. Still, challenges are present towards the “last mile problem” or the seamless integration of UAV products into farming activities. Besides, having addressed the fundamental questions about UAV technology in the last decade, UAVs can answer questions that have been challenging to respond to in agriculture and open opportunities to advance the technification and automation of farming further. This presentation will provide a personal view of unmanned aerial vehicles’ challenges, and opportunities as regulation, technology, and algorithms evolve for the next decade.
