Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are aircraft operated without a human pilot on board. They can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS.
Drones operate by utilizing a variety of technologies to achieve flight. They are equipped with propellers, motors, receivers, transmitters, and batteries. The pilot or operator controls the drone via a remote controller, allowing them to adjust speed, direction, and altitude.
Drones have a wide range of applications across various industries and sectors. They are commonly used for aerial photography and videography, surveying land, monitoring wildlife, search and rescue operations, agriculture, package delivery, and even recreational purposes like racing and flying for fun.
There are several types of drones available on the market today, ranging from small quadcopters suitable for beginners and hobbyists to larger, more advanced drones used for commercial purposes. Some drones are designed for specific tasks, such as photography drones equipped with high-resolution cameras or agricultural drones for crop monitoring.
