Drone control refers to the methods and technologies used to operate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This can involve remote control by a human operator or autonomous systems that allow the drone to fly without direct input. Control systems typically include a transmitter, receiver, and software that manage flight paths and maneuvers. The main components of drone control include GPS for navigation, sensors for obstacle detection, and communication systems for relaying information. Pilots can use handheld controllers or mobile devices to send commands, while advanced drones may utilize artificial intelligence to make real-time decisions during flight.
