Aerial robots, a smart technology, are revolutionizing various industries and driving innovation worldwide. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), including drones and GoPros, are designed to fly remotely or autonomously at specified instructions. Similar to how a remote controller operates a toy car, drones can be manually controlled or programmed for autonomous flight. Equipped with sensors, cameras, and communication systems, these UAVs significantly enhance efficiency. Their applications span agriculture, medicine, retail, and industrial sectors, while also serving crucial roles in military, educational, and research domains. Whether monitoring crops, delivering medical supplies, conducting inventory assessments, or inspecting infrastructure, drones continue to redefine the possibilities of exploration and innovation.
