Drone technology is one of the most exciting and rapidly
developing sectors with new trends emerging frequently. Some of the latest
trends in drone technology include autonomous flying, artificial intelligence and longer
flight times.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is being integrated into drone technology to enable more advanced features, such as making drones safer, as it can help them avoid obstacles and detect objects in their environment. With the help of AI, drones are becoming more functional and advanced than ever before.
Autonomous flying
Autonomous drones are rapidly becoming one of the most popular
technological advancements in the world. with
advanced sensors and artificial intelligence allowing them to operate with
greater independence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to
create algorithms that can interpret data and make decisions autonomously, this is leading to increased efficiency and
accuracy for a variety of tasks, ranging from surveying and mapping, to search
and rescue operations, to delivery and transport services.
Longer flight times
Currently, most commercial drones can only stay airborne for about
20 minutes or less before having to return to base. Advances in battery
technology and aerodynamics are leading to longer flight times for drones. Some
drones can now stay in the air for several hours at a time, making them ideal
for surveillance and monitoring applications.
Drone technology is growing and it’s important to keep up with the latest trends. In part 2 we will look at trends such as enhanced navigation and positioning, Improving payload capacity and development of hybrid drones.
