Drone adoption has increased during the coronavirus pandemic, especially in the agricultural sector as farmers seek new insights using surveillance technology and drawing inferences from digital data.
Drones are well-established and used in a variety of fields. One downside is that using multiple drones requires multiple human operators, which presents a coordination problem. Researchers have a solution: brain control.
Unmanned aerial vehicles are growing in popularity for businesses and fro consumers. a new world record for fastest drone highlights the continuing advances in drone technology.
The United States government has announced that it will begin using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to patrol the border with Canada by this fall, in an effort to keep out possible threats.

At NASA’s Dryden Research Center in California, a group of engineers, scientists, and aviation technicians have set up camp in a noisy, chilly hangar on Edwards Air Force base. For the past two weeks, they have been working to mount equipment—from HD video cameras to ozone sensors—onto NASA’s Global Hawk, a remote-controlled airplane that can fly for up to 30 hours at altitudes up to 65,000 feet.
