Could you build this?
No Autonomous livestock herding using drones requires physical unmanned aerial vehicles, specialized autonomous flight software, and real-time robotics vision.
What it would actually take: The solution requires ruggedized drone hardware running PX4 or ArduPilot integrated with edge compute modules like NVIDIA Jetson. The software stack needs real-time computer vision for livestock detection and tracking, combined with livestock behavior modeling to guide animal movement without causing stampedes or distress. This demands an interdisciplinary team of robotics engineers, computer vision specialists, and rangeland/livestock domain experts.
