Remotely controlled mechanical arm for tree canopy sampling

Lucanus is a remotely controlled mechanical arm composed of several modules that can be attached to UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and serves as a solution for tree canopy sampling. Lucanus was devised in cooperation between the Department of forest physiology and genetics of the Slovenian Forestry Institute (SFI) and Institute 404 as a part of the EUFORINNO project. The implemented solutions were applied for patent by the inventors from both SFI and Institute 404. The national patent was granted on 30. 9. 2016 under patent nr. SI 24941 by The Slovenian Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) which is an autonomous body within the Slovenian Ministry of Economic Development and Technology. Solution is currently also patent pending in European Patent Office (application no. EP16150006.1).
