Drone as a service

1. Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) & Autonomous Robotics Presented by: Ebin A.V. Holy Grace Polytechnic College, Mala

2. Introduction Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) capable of autonomous flight. Evolved from manual remote-controlled systems to intelligent autonomous robots. Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS): A model where drone capabilities are provided on demand.

3. What is DaaS? Subscription or pay-per-use model for drone operations. Enables industries to use drones without owning them. Common applications: delivery, mapping, inspection, and surveillance.

4. DaaS Architecture Cloud-based control and data management. IoT sensors collect real-time data. AI and Edge Computing enable quick decision-making. 5G networks allow low-latency operations.

5. Role of Autonomous Robotics Self-navigation and decision-making robots. Swarm robotics: multiple drones collaborating. Integration with ground robots for coordinated missions.

6. Applications of DaaS Agriculture – Crop monitoring, spraying, soil analysis Military – Surveillance, tactical missions Disaster Management – Search & rescue, damage mapping Logistics – Drone delivery (Amazon Prime Air) Infrastructure – Inspection of bridges, towers, solar panels

7. Technologies Involved AI & Machine Learning for decision-making. GPS & GIS for navigation. Computer Vision for object detection. LiDAR & Sensors for obstacle avoidance. Cloud Computing & 5G for data processing.

8. Advantages Cost-effective & scalable. Real-time monitoring & analytics. Safe for hazardous operations. Reduces manpower requirements.

9. Challenges Battery limitations & short flight times. Privacy and regulatory restrictions. Cybersecurity threats. Weather and environmental limitations.

10. Future Trends (2025 & Beyond) Integration with 6G networks for instant communication. AI-driven drone fleets for smart cities. Eco-friendly drones using solar or hydrogen energy. Autonomous traffic management systems for air mobility.

11. Case Studies Zipline – Medical drone delivery in Africa DJI Dock – Automated drone station for 24/7 surveillance Amazon Prime Air – Autonomous package delivery system

12. Conclusion DaaS and autonomous robotics are transforming industries. Provide efficient, intelligent, and sustainable solutions. The future of aerial systems lies in full autonomy and smart integration.
