Background
Fruit tree pollination has a variety of modes, and the most common modes are natural pollination and artificial pollination. The natural pollination is random, is easily influenced by severe weather, only depends on the natural pollination, and has low fruit setting rate, irregular fruit shape and poor quality for most of the fruit trees with different flowers for pollination. The artificial pollination is to perform point pollination or spray pollination on high-quality flowers under the condition of human intervention, overcome the influence of the adverse natural environment such as bad weather and the like, realize the technology of flower thinning and fruit thinning and flower setting, and improve the fruit setting rate and the fruit quality of fruit trees.
In a foreign apple orchard, apples are pollinated by manually breeding bees or osmia, the fruit setting rate of fruits is improved, but because a great amount of pesticides are used in the orchard, the loss of the bees or the osmia is large, and nest holes need to be provided for manually breeding the bees or the osmia, nest blocks are properly recovered and stored, the labor amount is increased invisibly, the process is complex, the investment is large, and therefore mechanical pollination inevitably becomes the main trend of pollination of fruit trees in the future.

Although various pollination devices are in a large number at present, the pollination devices all need manual participation, and the problem of large labor capacity of manpower is not fundamentally solved.
Along with the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle technique, more and more extensive field provides the space for unmanned aerial vehicle technique's development in recent years, and this provides a new thinking for fruit tree pollination technique undoubtedly, but because unmanned aerial vehicle shape is great, can't operate in a flexible way in the complicated tree trunk of confusion, it is more impossible to carry out one-to-one pollination to the flower, and unmanned aerial vehicle lift is limited in addition, so have certain restriction to its heavy material volume that can carry.
