A drone, also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans.
Drones operate through a combination of technologies such as aerodynamics, materials science, artificial intelligence, and sensors. They are equipped with propellers that allow them to fly and various sensors and cameras for navigation and capturing images or videos.
Drones come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific purposes. Some common types include quadcopters (with four propellers), hexacopters (with six propellers), and octocopters (with eight propellers). Additionally, there are fixed-wing drones that resemble traditional airplanes and hybrid models combining features of helicopters and airplanes.
