Drones
I even read the following awesome use of drone-
Walmart is looking to revolutionize farming processes with the use of robotic alternatives to bees.
Furthermore, Taking the form of a multicopter – a type of aerial vehicle that flies using two or more rotating blades – the “bees” would use cameras and sensors to find the locations of crops where they would distribute pollen.
MantaDroid by National University of Singapore
Designed to be used for underwater surveillance and marine biodiversity studies, the MantaDroid mirrors the moves and looks of a mantra ray, to disguising it in aquatic surroundings.
It offers an inconspicuous alternative to conventional underwater vehicles
Zipline by Harvard graduates and the Rwandan Government
The world’s first commercial medical supplies drone delivery system, Zipline, is designed to deliver blood, vaccines, and other critical supplies to health workers in remote areas.
Also, Prompted by a mobile phone message, the drones deliver supplies via parachute within minutes; each can fly 500 deliveries in 24 hours, carrying up to 1.5 kilograms at a time
Drones for Agriculture
In simple terms, you can scan your crop, map the surface, deliver items and count animals using drones. Crop field scanning with compact multispectral imaging sensors.
To conclude, the era of drones has shifted from being merely a device used to take pictures to a device that will (hopefully) solve some of the gripping problems around the world surrounding food, safety, and transportation.
Likewise, Drones have now become a part of our day by day life. The device, as changed the way we look at our surroundings by giving an all-new angle for viewing. DJI’s Phantom, which first made its entry in 2013, is the best example for drones in modern society. (Source: Wikimedia Commons)
