What are the Applications of Drones?
Listening | English and Chinese scripts are provided below and you can understand the content easier. https://www.youtube.com/@UpgradeEnglish
Delivery of goods – Deliver takeout to a designated location
In China, an on-demand delivery service provider uses drones to deliver foods, drinks and medical supplies to customers.
The drones follow predetermined routes and drop off deliveries at the pickup kiosks set up at the designated locations.
The Chinese government is promoting the low-altitude economy. Small drones fly to the delivery points and deliver the goods efficiently.
The low-altitude economy can also cover applications in surveys, building maintenance, aerial photography and even more.
Search and rescue – Locate missing individuals and save them
Drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras and sensors can detect heat and human voices respectively.
Combining with analysis software, the rescue team can narrow the search areas quickly, locate missing people accurately and rescue them.
Drones can reduce human effort and avoid exposing the rescue team to dangerous areas such as cliffs and deep forests. Hence, they’re used in supporting disaster management.
Smart farming – Dispense fertilisers or pesticides and monitor crop
Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors can capture and analyze data of crop. Farmers can track the growth of crops supported with scientific data.
Drones can assist spraying, watering and seeding accurately. Their precision and efficiency not only raise the productivity but also lower logistics risks.
Farmers can respond to problems timely through ongoing monitoring by drones. Crop loss can be minimised thanks to more accurate dispersal of pesticides.
Weather forecast – Collect data and predict weather
With their sophisticated sensors, drones can collect precise weather data such as temperature, humidity, pressure and wind speed.
Drones are indeed the mobile weather observation aircraft. The real-time data collected can support more accurate weather forecast.
Facing the climate change, scientists can make use of drones to analyze important data collected and determine the potential formation of extreme weather.
Building maintenance – Inspect building and identify potential damage
Routine maintenance tasks of properties are challenging because they’re labour-intensive, expensive and dangerous for workers.
Drones can help inspecting building exteriors especially hard-to-reach areas. The result is more accurate based on high quality images rather than the visual inspection by human eyes.
Cleaning windows is another maintenance that involves safety risk. Drones can eliminate the use of ropes and scaffolds with minimal human intervention.
Entertainment – Shine in your eyes with creativity
Light drones are programmed to create images, effects and ideas in the sky. The stunning light shows surprise the audiences with unforgettable experience.
The performance is not limited to storytelling, 3-dimensional cartoon and seasonal theme. The unlimited boundary of the sky can provide unmatched level of effects.
Unlike traditional fireworks and light shows, drone-based performance is environmentally-friendly. It’s smoke-free and debris-free while consuming less energy.
WITH CHINESE SCRIPTS
送貨 – 將外帶送到指定地點
在中國，一家按客戶要求送貨的服務供應商使用無人機向客戶運送食品、飲料和醫療用品。
無人機依照預定路線行駛，並將貨物投遞到設置於指定地點的取貨亭。
中國政府正在大力發展低空經濟，小型無人機飛抵配送點及高效地運送貨物。
低空經濟還可涵蓋測量、建築維護、航空攝影等更多領域的應用。
搜索和救援 – 找到失踪人員並拯救他們
配備熱像相機和感測器的無人機可以分別偵測熱量和人聲。
結合分析軟件，救援隊可以快速縮小搜索範圍、準確定位失蹤者並救援。
無人機可以減少人力，避免救援隊暴露在懸崖和森林深處等危險區域，因此，它們用於支援災難管理。
智慧農業－施肥或殺蟲劑並監測作物
配備高解析度攝影機和感測器的無人機可以取得和分析農作物數據，農民可以在科學數據的支持下追蹤農作物的生長情況。
無人機可以輔助精準噴灑、澆水及播種，它們的精準度和效率不僅提高了生產力，還降低了後勤的風險。
農民可以透過無人機的持續監控及時應對問題，由於更準確地噴灑農藥，可以大大減少農作物的損失。
天氣預報 – 收集資料並預測天氣
憑藉先進的傳感器，無人機可以收集精確的天氣數據，例如溫度、濕度、壓力和風速。
無人機確實是流動氣象觀測飛機，收集的即時數據可以支援更準確的天氣預報。
面對氣候變化，科學家可以利用無人機分析收集到的重要數據，並確定極端天氣的潛在形成。
建築物維護 – 檢查建築物並識別潛在損壞
物業的日常維護工作具有挑戰性，因為它們是勞動密集、昂貴且對工人來說很危險。
無人機可以幫助檢查建築物外部，尤其是難以到達的區域，基於高品質影像而不是人眼目視檢查，結果更加準確。
清潔窗戶是另一個涉及安全風險的維護工作，無人機可以淘汰繩索和鷹架的使用，只需最少的人為幹預。
娛樂－創意閃耀你的雙眼
發光的無人機經過編程可以在天空中制造影像、效果和構思，令人驚嘆的燈光秀帶給觀眾難忘的體驗。
表演不限於說故事、三維卡通和季節主題，天空的無限邊界可以提供無與倫比的效果。
與傳統的煙火和燈光秀不同，無人機表演非常環保，它無煙、無廢棄物，同時消耗更少的能源。
