Starting from the new academic year, the Higher
Agrarian and Technical College in Saryagash District, Turkistan Region, will
begin training specialists in the remote operation of aerial systems. Graduates
will learn to operate agricultural drones and will be able to obtain special
licenses. The program will be launched under an agreement with a Chinese
company that manufactures aircraft in the region. A total of 100 grants have
been allocated for this purpose. The college has already purchased the
necessary equipment, while its instructors have completed training in China. A
specialized classroom will also be set up at the college. The institution is
also developing a program that will allow drones to be controlled using VR
goggles. In the future, the technology is planned to be used for treating
agricultural land and assisting animals.
«For example, we are currently using VR headsets to
learn how to operate and fly a drone. We are developing special software for
this purpose. When we put them on, we can see everything from the drone’s
perspective. This technology can also be used in livestock farming. For
example, someone with no previous experience working with animals could put on
a VR headset and acquire the necessary skills. They could observe an animal and
provide assistance when needed,» said Temirlan Sizov, a student.
