Drones

Drones are aerial vehicles that do not require piloting. They are operated
either by a ground controller or an onboard computer. They were initially
designed to replace humans on missions that were considered too
dangerous, or not suitable for human pilots. They can take aerial
photographs and videos of high quality, and collect vast amounts of image
data. The majority of them can be controlled by users with very little
experience. They can monitor situations, identify possible hazards, alert
people about unsafe conditions as well as create and maintain safe
environments. This technology is continually improving, and the cost of
buying a drone is not as expensive as it used to be. They are vulnerable to
wild animal attacks and can also endanger nature. They are even used to
record important events like sport games, concerts and festivals. Lithium
polymer batteries used in drones are extremely sensitive to moisture and
flying is strictly prohibited on rainy days.
