Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, commonly known as drones, are aircraft without a human pilot onboard. They can be operated remotely by a pilot or autonomously by onboard computers.
UAVs consist of various components that enable their flight and functionality. These include power systems like batteries or fuel cells, propulsion systems such as rotors or jet engines, flight control systems for navigation, and sensors for data acquisition.
Unmanned aerial vehicle technology has a wide range of applications across different industries. From surveillance and mapping to agriculture and disaster response, drones are increasingly being used for various purposes.
Despite their benefits, UAV technology faces challenges such as regulatory restrictions and privacy concerns. However, ongoing advancements in AI and sensor technology are expected to drive the future innovations in the field.
