Drones can vary in shape and size but the main core elements (battery microcontroller motor sensors) essentially remain the same. They are equipped with multiple features to help capture key data on building sites including cameras GPS units thermal sensors and infrared sensors.Over the past decade drone technology has advanced significantly making drones affordable and increasingly common. Modern drone technology has practically transformed the landscape of every industry. Drones are rapidly taking the world by storm. The age of drones has arrived. The impact of drones is so great that companies will fall behind industry standards without them. It is safe to say that the commercial drone is here to stay and they will continue to be part of our modern world.This book explores the various applications of drones. The book is organized into fifteen chapters that summarize the applications such as construction agriculture healthcare power systems education business manufacturing oil & gas telecommunications entertainment law enforcement space exploration surveillance and the military.
