Drone technology refers to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems that can be controlled remotely or operate autonomously. Drones are used in a variety of industries, including agriculture, energy, insurance, and security, among others. Some key features of drone technology include:
-
Autonomy: Drones can operate without a pilot on board and with varying levels of autonomy.
-
Advanced Technologies: Autonomous drones employ a host of advanced technologies that allow them to carry out their missions without human intervention, such as cloud computing, computer vision, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and thermal sensors.
-
Applications: Drones are used for a variety of purposes, including aerial mapping, inspection, surveillance, agriculture, search-and-rescue, and photography and videography.
Drones can be built with different materials and designs, depending on their intended use. For example, frames are typically made from plastic or carbon fiber and can be arranged with different arm variations. While drones are often used for recreational purposes, they are also used in situations where conditions are too dangerous or inaccessible for human pilots.
