Sweetpotato (Ipomea batatas) is considered a staple crop in many considerable parts of Africa. According to FAOSTAT (2013)‚ sweet potato has been considered as the seventh important food crop in the world. Agriculture has become more market oriented and sweetpotato is one of the many crops that help farmers obtain income and subsistence food security (Wheatly and Loechl‚ 2008).

1. INTRODUCTION Micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) are small integrated devices or systems that combine electrical and mechanical components. They range in size from the sub micrometer level to the millimeter level and there can be any number‚ from a few to millions‚ in a particular system. MEMS extend the fabrication techniques developed for the integrated circuit industry to add mechanical elements such as beams‚ gears‚ diaphragms‚ and springs to devices. Examples of MEMS device applications

Nano Aerial Vehicles and Micro Aerial Vehicles are primarily used for military applications which include Intelligence‚ Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR missions)‚ and used for both indoor and outdoor missions‚ which represents a challenging environment factor to overcome. The use of MAVs and NAVs reduce human risk as it does not require an on-board pilot for the mission‚ they also tend to improve the assessment of danger and have visibility in the dark when equipped with infrared cameras.
