Re: Re:
A proper drone would be fully autonomous.
Given it comes from the the term used for ants/bees etc and they get on with it without the queen constantly controlling them.
Or you send out your drone workers to do the repetitive menial tasks.
(The sort of workers that are now replaced by robotics)
Anyway, back to the unmanned flying toys...
I've got a small toy one, fun but wouldn't call it a drone, I'd call it a radio controlled quadcopter.
My friend has a drone, he told it where to go and it went there and did it's job ( which was to go land on some place it shouldn't be*, quite easy to do it seems.)
* Hugh energy generators you wouldn't want to go boom ;-)

iscervo":hgtbeu32 said:The correct terminology for these is/should be Multi rotor or Quadcopter depending on how many rotor they have, they can be bought/ built as tri, hex, octo.
