Smartphone Controlled Drone – Changing the Way of Working

It’s an era of unmanned aerial vehicles better known as drones. It’s not like there were no flying vehicles around in the past, Aerospace, Aircrafts, Spaceships & Shuttles have been invented and there for many years. However the focus was only limited to, travel, air cargo and space research mostly. Personalized use of such technology have been just starting to gain attention, now you don’t need to be there in your flying machine, in order to fly it or do survey, monitoring or doing some supplies, you can sit back and operate it from a distance and can reach the areas where it’s almost impossible to put your foot. We come across news of drones being used in many areas:

• For monitoring in military areas.
• Use of armed drones for firing and attacks.
• Dropping weapons, bombs, in war zone
• Reaching flood areas, earthquake affected areas and capturing useful information for disaster management.
• Dropping food packets, drinking water and much more.
• Aerial photography

The interesting thing is that when this technology is clubbed with the smartphone applications, it becomes even more powerful and personalized to give more control to the users on their drone devices and utilize this to do more productive things.

Researching flood areas, geographical areas, lands, agricultural studies and wildlife study are some of the most common areas where this can be applied and the data can be synced with smartphones and uploaded to cloud for reporting purposes. For kids teachers can cover many physics topics to showcase in real perspective with the help of drones.

Disaster Management and Rescue:

• Drones can be utilized for disaster management to know the real-time reports of the flood affected, earthquake or storm affected areas, to know the actual situation for getting the right help for the areas. The monitoring drone can send information and reports that disaster management team can analyse and plan.
