Beyond the Basics: What You Can Do With Custom Drone Applications
Beyond hardware, drones are becoming software-defined machines. What matters isn’t only the sensors you bolt on or the airframe you pick, it’s the drone applications you can run at the edge and connect back to the cloud. From real-time mapping to AI-driven inspections, today’s UAVs can already host a growing library of mission-specific apps.
In this post, we’ll look at four categories of drone applications you can deploy right now: advanced navigation and control, AI and computer vision, onboard data processing and mapping, and multi-sensor fusion with specialized payloads.
Advanced Navigation & Control
Using edge-deployed drone navigation apps, drones can maintain altitude better, gain higher situational awareness, and dynamically adjust to variable conditions as a result. Modern drone autopilots come...
