Unmanned aerial
vehicles and drones are purported to be the future of both information
gathering and delivery services. Amazon recently released a video right before
Cyber Monday, showing a drone of theirs delivering a soccer shoe to a child
right to his doorstep within 30 minutes. The company announced that their drone
production line has passed the testing phase and is now ready for delivery operations.
This milestone, when reached by Amazon, will change the face of delivery
services as we know it. Once it works for Amazon, it will be no time before
your local pizza store uses drones to deliver pizzas in less than 5 minutes.
When it comes to
information gathering, drones can prove to be of great use. They are capable of
reaching heights that no man can go to without an aircraft and can take images
of far flung areas that no human can survive in. This is why more and more
governments are looking towards incorporating drones in their information
gathering arsenal. Canada is among the countries that have started using UAVs
for this purpose. Several of the country’s departments are testing the use of
drones for gathering information. The Coast Guards and the Royal Canadian Navy
have used a drone on trial bases to gather real-time information regarding the
condition of ice. They have been trying to find out if drones can be used in
ice-breaking operations.
In the field of
information gathering, companies like DroneDeploy have developed a neat system
that can be used to map territories. Using their system, they have announced
recently that their affiliated drones have covered areas across 150 countries
and a total 200 million acres of land.
Drones and unmanned
aerial vehicles are still yet to reach anything near to their full capacity. In
the not so distant future, drones and AUVs are expected to be taking the orders
themselves, and going on explorations on their own. They’ll sooner be expected
to deliver heavier and bulkier items from stores to people’s homes.
A totally
machine-dependent society is imaginable now after the recent breakthroughs. Drones
are surely useful but let’s not also forget their infamous affiliation with
military operations and unlawful trespassing. If drones are to develop further,
such consequences have to be understood. Drones are getting incredibly cheap as
time goes by, making them available more to hobbyists and normal people, and
not only accessible to industrial companies. Having drones and AUVs around
makes our lives easier but it also comes at a price. This price is the
inevitable loss of one’s privacy. However, once the laws regarding UAVs are
made and enforced, such concerns will abate quickly.
In short, drones are
being increasingly used in both information gathering and package delivery
industries. As the drones become more advanced, they will find more applications
in these industries. It won’t be long before we see drones delivering food
items to our homes and gathering information from far off areas.
