Tracking the latest breakthroughs, research, and deep-tech innovations.
How AI is making drones more autonomous through computer vision, GPS, sensor fusion, obstacle avoidance and route planning—while keeping humans in supervision.
How agricultural drones are changing farming in India through spraying, crop monitoring, mapping, disease detection and fertiliser application—and where costs and access remain challenges.
Battery failure, signal loss, software errors, bad weather, pilot mistakes, sensor problems and poor maintenance can all contribute to drone crashes.
How thermal cameras, night operations and aerial mapping are helping emergency teams find missing people and assess difficult terrain.
Battery chemistry is only part of the problem: payload, wind, temperature and charging all affect how long a drone can stay airborne.
A beginner’s guide to the best drones for camera quality, flight time, GPS, obstacle sensing, weight, repairability and India’s drone rules.
