In the early days, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs / drones) were generally perceived by the public as little more than model aircraft or aerial photography tools. However, with advancements in integrated circuits (IC), materials science, and artificial intelligence (AI), today’s drones are capable of far more powerful applications. They can collaborate with humans to accomplish challenging missions, creating tremendous value and business opportunities. In other words, the drone industry is reshaping and redefining the world as we know it.
