Technology is perhaps the greatest agent of change in the modern world. While never without risk, technological breakthroughs promise innovative solutions to the most pressing global challenges of our time. From zero-emission cars fulled by hydrogen to computer chips modeled on the human brain, this year’s 10 emerging technologies offer a vivid glimpse of the power of innovation to improve lives, transform industries and safeguard our planet.
THE WORLD LATEST TECHNOLOGY IS DRONE
WHAT IS DRONE?
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone and also referred by several other names is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may be controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. ICAO classify unmanned aircraft into two types under Circular 328 AN/190:
- Autonomous aircraft – currently considered unsuitable for regulation due to legal and liability issues
- Remotely piloted aircraft – subject to civil regulation under ICAO and under the relevant national aviation authority
The typical launch and recovery method function of an automatic system or an external operator on the ground.[1]Historically, UAVs were simple remotely piloted aircraft, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed.[not in citation given].
In the past, unmanned aerial vehicles have mostly found military and special operation applications, but also are increasingly finding uses in civil applications, such as policing and firefighting, and nonmilitary security work, such as inspection of power or pipelines. UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for manned aircraft.
DRONES ARE ROBOTIC MACHINE TECHNOLOGY
Drones could be the next major tech revolution to sweep the world, and these robotic flying machines are now being used for purposes that extend far beyond the secretive realm of the military.
Photographers have lofty dreams of using drones to capture stunning aerial views, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos nabbed headlines when he introduced the idea of using drones to deliver goods to online shoppers. But, over the course of the next decade, these types of drones (if they gain approval from the U.S. government) could make up only a portion of what some predict will become a multibillion-dollar global industry.
In the meantime, here are some surprising ways drones could be used around the world.
