How do drones facilitate human life?

Abstract

Drone technology can provide a more cost-effective solution for many problems in different industries. This paper focuses on discussing how drones facilitate human life in various fields. They include infrastructure inspection, agriculture, medium and high-valued good delivery, geographical monitoring, rescue, and law enforcement. These areas were chosen because they can have the greatest impact if drones are used. Aerial unmanned vehicles can be used to map both horizontal surfaces and vertical structures. This can allow for a reduction in maintenance costs for buildings, cranes, wind turbines, speedways, and other infrastructures. It was found that the inspection cost for wind turbines could be reduced from 0.7% to 0.21% using drones. In terms of agriculture benefits, drones can use 800% less pesticide to provide the same protection benefits against plagues when compared to more conventional electric air-pressure knapsack sprayer (EAP) systems. Furthermore, it was determined that drones could save countless police officers' and civilians' lives by providing critical information in highly dangerous situations such as robberies, hostage cases, and car chases. The main obstacle that refrained from the widespread use of copter drones in these industries has been their limited flight time. Flight times of over two hours must be constantly achieved for the system to become cost-effective when compared to the traditional methods that are already in place.
