We presented our scenario for trapping mosquitoes. In turn, they presented their drone and the technologies currently used. The discussion that followed allowed us to consider a <B>new trapping scenario with drones</B>, and develop technical specifications. Secondly exchanges allowed us to tackle technical and commercial aspects and buisiness model.</br> </br> | We presented our scenario for trapping mosquitoes.
