 Drones Part 2

Welcome back to the second part of our exploration of the various applications of drones in our daily lives. In the previous blog, we delved into how drones are revolutionizing the military, agriculture, and photography/videography sectors. Let's continue our journey by examining more fascinating and practical uses of drones.

4. Search and Rescue Operations - Drones offer multiple advantages in rescue missions. Drones can provide real time footage aerially which allows people to scope out the layout and help people plan out rescue missions, this is more efficient. Moreover, drones can cover large areas in a short amount of time. There are drones of various sizes and capabilities, for example some very compact drones can fly through tight spaces or drones that can change their shape to fit through unusually shaped spaces. 

Drones also have thermal sensors and cameras can be used for finding missing people. Drones can also access areas which are dangerous for humans to access. One advantage is the size and portability of drones. These devices can be compact and lightweight, making them easily transportable for teams that need to cover considerable distances on foot.

5. Delivery Services - Drones can be used for delivering emergency supplies such as food and water . Drone delivery is also faster compared to ground methods as drones can bypass traffic and it can deliver goods over a long range and to remote areas. Moreover, over a long time retailers can save money by reducing their costs on humans for deliveries. Drones also mainly run on clean and environmentally friendly energy which reduces the environmental impact which is normally caused by vans and trucks which are used to delivery these goods. 

One example of a drone being used for delivery is in Singapore where drones are used to deliver food to ships which are near the pier. Instead of using a boat to deliver the food, drones can be used autonomously to deliver the food, it saves time and money. 

6. Construction - Drones are used to capture 3D views of worksites which allows managers and contractors to efficiently plan the construction site to make sure it is safe. Prior to the use of construction drones, planning, inspection, and topographical insights were frequently relied on fragmented data that required days to collect, process, and disseminate. Sites change frequently, therefore the information was constantly a little bit out of date.

With just one or two drones, it is now feasible to obtain exact, photorealistic details over an entire active site area in a couple of hours. They provide accurate and up-to-date aerial views of construction sites, helping project managers track progress and identify any issues early on.


This is all for the use of drones in real life, stay tuned for the next blog!

 Many people ask the question, "How does robotics affect our life?". Well, in this blog I'll answer that question for you! Robots are utilised in many different industries, from manufacturing to logistics, and robots have become an integral component of our lives. Robots can carry out activities that humans find risky, repetitive, or challenging save time, and make our lives much easier!  Domestic uses: The demand for domestic robots has been increasing rapidly. The most popular domestic robot is a robot vacuum cleaner, also known as a 'Roomba'. It is an extremely useful device that helps save time and does a monotonous task and does it efficiently. It has a plethora of sensors such as a cliff sensor and an infrared sensor which allows the Roomba to prevent falls and navigate safely without causing damage to the house or to itself, Roomba are equipped with inertial sensors and accelerometers that help determine the robot's orientation and changes in motion.

What is robotics? Well, it is amalgamation of science, engineering, and technology and has changed and revolutionised a countless number of industries such as healthcare, manufacturing and agriculture. For these machines to work, the core is the electronics which run and bring these machines to life. Understanding the basics of electronics is crucial before trying to learn the depths of Robotics. Voltage, Current and Resistance: These are the three most fundamental concepts of electricity which is essential for the working of a machine. Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points. Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes electrons through a conducting loop, which enables them to do work. Voltage is measured in Volts. Current on the other hand is the movement of electric charge through an electric conductor. Current is measure in amps. Resistance is the measure of opposition to the flow of charged(current) in an electric co

Welcome back to the blog on the electrifying world of robotics! In this part of Basic Electronics for Robotics, we will further explore the fascinating world of electronic components and some fundamental concepts that you should know! First up are the laws by Kirchoff, it is a fundamental principle that helps us understand current and voltage, it shows how electric currents behave in a circuit. It might sound intimidating, but in this article, I will walk you through each and every concept in detail. I hope that by the end of this, you will understand the fundamentals. Kirchoff's Current Law - the law states that the current entering a junction in a circuit should be equal to the total current leaving the junction. It reinforces the principle of conservation of electric charge within a circuit. It helps us understand how currents behave at junctions in electrical circuits, which can help us design advanced robotic systems Kirchoff's Voltage Law - it states that in any clo
