Drone technology is the way of the future, so the Ardea Drone seen here comes as a logical next step that will provide an advanced autonomous experience that is made possible with a series of technological achievements.
The drone has been designed by Tilo Wüsthoff for Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) and incorporates autonomous technology in order to let it navigate without the need for a traditional pilot. This is made possible with a series of stereo cameras and sensors that enable it to chart a course for itself from one location, to another without having to require human interaction along the way.
The Ardea Drone identifies key technological innovations that will likely be incorporated in future creations in order to make solutions as seamless as possible.
