The term drone robot is particularly at home in the fields of drone technology, automation, industry and Factory 4.0. A drone robot is an unmanned, usually flying device that can perform tasks completely or partially autonomously with the help of sensors and software. Unlike conventional drones, drone robots can often make decisions independently and operate in complex environments.
A simple example shows how drone robots are used in everyday life: They take over stocktaking in large warehouses. They fly through the shelves, scan barcodes and record stock levels. This saves employees a lot of time and avoids errors that could occur with manual counting.
Today, drone robots can be used in a variety of ways, for example in agriculture to independently monitor fields or in industry to inspect hard-to-reach areas of a plant. They help to make processes more efficient, safer and more cost-effective.
The development and use of drone robots is a central component of the advancing digitalisation and automation that many companies want to use for their future.
