Drone/UAV Design Development is Important in a Wide Range of Applications

Abstract

In recent years, flying robots have played an increasingly important and growing role in the mining industry, transportation, as well as civilian and military applications. Moreover, in the last decades, researchers’ attention has focused on the development of new designs of drones for different applications. In this pandemic situation, drones play a significant role in delivering drugs and foods. Drones have the potential to be dependable medical delivery platforms for laboratory and microbiological samples, emergency medical equipment, vaccines, and pharmaceuticals, among other things. Drone use has been prioritized by government agencies. The next steps will include aggressive safety research initiatives, increased public awareness, industry expansion, and participation. A literature survey was carried out to understand the current state of the art and set a research directive for the advanced drones. There is also a great deal of interest in developing novel drones that can fly autonomously in such different locations and environments and perform a wide variety of missions. Besides classification, the discussion also includes the application of drones in various fields. Apart from the design and fabrication challenges of micro drones, the concept of emerging and controlling drones is also discussed in detail here. Furthermore, existing system limitations and controlling factors were revealed. The current applications of drones as well as their future potential in the industry are also discussed.
