Drones are all the buzz at the present being quite ubiquitous in many locations. A drone basically refers to a flying robot that is technically referred to as a UAV, unmanned aerial vehicle. It is usually controlled remotely or you could choose to program it to follow certain flight plans. They have simplified the way tasks are handled and you can now undertake tasks which seemed difficult, expensive, quite dangerous, access remote areas and fly at high speed using them.
The drone technology presents a world of endless possibilities as they could be designed to have computer vision, facilitate face and object recognition besides providing an efficient tracking technology. These common robotics pose a possible combination of networking, robotics and artificial intelligence, AI. They are versatile enough to adapt to a given environment and they could trace a given subject through an area.
The Projected rise in Drone use
The immense benefits of drones have led to a great leap in their sales volume. The global aerial drone market mostly consists of civilian and defense drones. Both segments of the market are projected to increase significantly with the Civilian and Defense expected to rise by $13 billion and $3 billion respectively by the year 2024.
Their potential use in the defense systems has made the militaries of many countries to adopt their use. At the present, the top five leading countries in military drones are USA, China, Israel, Russia and Iran. Drones have also become highly influential in helping mapping professionals in the various fields. These include mapping in Agriculture, Surveying, Environmental protection, Humanitarian aid and mapping in GIS.
The latest technology drones
There are three "SenseFly" drones with the ability to map almost anything. The design of these drones involves the incorporation of a camera which yields countless results. You could attain speeds of up to 90km/hr. with an area of about 40 square kilometers being mapped. The flight time is 59 minutes and these drones have a 3km radio coverage. The drones are light with a weight of only 0.69kg, the wing span being 96 to 110 cm and the wings are the detachable type. The material used to make these drone is EPP foam which has been combined with carbon structure and the design is dust and shock protected.
