Rapid advances in artificial intelligence and machine autonomy provide a wide range of possibilities for deploying drone-based swarm technology. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), sometimes referred to as drones, are used in a variety of industries, including security, surveillance, and search and rescue operations, either independently or by remote control. They work in package delivery, precision farming, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring.
