In this project, we will show the easy process of building a homemade drone with Arduino nano, using
recycled and economical elements. We will show the entire process so that you can build your drone in a way
safe and truly flies, thanks to a very comprehensive open-source platform called multiwii, which allows us
program each module efficiently, such as the MPU6050 gy521 gyroscope, which is the fundamental piece
because it is the one that gives stability to it. I hope you like it since it is a great project to undertake, interesting
and everything at your disposal.

Nowadays drones are used

In Events

We saw them in the last football World Cup in Brazil flying over the field, showing the game from above.
with the best angles, like no other camera could. Recitals, fashion shows, and even protests,
They are captured by these mini helicopters that, as an advantage, can fly lower and closer to people.
that a real helicopter has many more maneuverability options than a crane arm. The drones
they open up a whole new range of possibilities for photojournalism and filmmakers.

As delivery

This really seems like science fiction: In Russia and Israel, drones are already making deliveries.
In China, the courier company SF Express delivers using small helicopters.
United States, this time lagged behind the trend as Amazon, one of the largest companies
of the country's e-commerce, launched a video promoting the delivery of products in 30 minutes thanks to
to a drone. However, the same company pointed out that this will not be possible for at least,
for the next 5 years since current legislation does not allow it.

3. In emergency situations

Drones stand out for their effectiveness in extreme situations, especially in areas that were left
isolated or difficult to access. The importance of its use was demonstrated, for example, in areas that were
struck by natural disasters. Their flying speed allows them to cover huge areas in a very short time.

evaluate the necessary assistance in the area or the way to arrive at the place.

4. Search for people

The possibility of flying at low altitude along with a high-quality camera that transmits in real time,
it allows for the immediate recognition of missing persons in forests or mountains, for example. In Spain
LifeSeeker was developed, an integrated system with drones that allows them to connect with phones.
mobiles that were left without signal and to report their exact position.

5. Fiscal control

In Argentina, the government has embraced this technology, and UAVs are used to survey lands.

built.

Border surveillance

Spain will begin using them through the Civil Guard, to control maritime entries. Likewise,
The United States is evaluating its use to control the Mexican border and thus deter possible
illegal immigrants and drug trafficking.

7. Rural areas

Farmers have been taking great advantage of drones as they use them for different purposes:

On one hand, thanks to the high-definition photos and videos that the built-in GoPro allows, it enables the
large-scale monitoring that would otherwise be impossible to traverse. This equipment can cover
more than a thousand hectares in just one hour allowing for early detection of pests or weeds.

On the other hand, these unmanned ships are used for herd control.

It is also used for real estate purposes, giving farmers the ability to accurately display the
characteristics of a building en few minutes.
Finally, it is estimated that there are about 2400 drones in Asia used to spread pesticides and fertilizers.
in large rural areas.

In Spain, the first UAVs specifically designed for prevention and control were created.

prevention and expansion of fires.

9. Archaeological research

They are used to search for and analyze archaeological remains thanks to their ability to traverse and take
photographs of extensive areas. In Peru, UAVs were used to study the ruins of Cerro Chepén
getting more than 700,000 photographs in just ten minutes, almost 50 times more photos than can be
obtain by other means.

10. Geological fines

Around the world, drones are used to access areas that are dangerous for humans. Such is the case
of the active volcanoes. Drones are capable of taking samples from inside the volcano and from the
ashes it emits, allowing to predict eruptions and thus alerting with greater anticipation to the
nearby populations. On the other hand, that information is also used to deepen research
scientific study of the center of the earth.

Similarly, drones have been used to study and attempt to predict the path of a hurricane. These teams
they were sent into the eye of a hurricane in the United States that, taking temperature and humidity readings,
it allowed forecasting the path and alerting the population, reducing the damages.

11. Biological research

These drones have been used to replicate the flight path of wild birds. The flight is recorded.
with a GPS integrated into the bird, and then it is reproduced with a drone. The researchers can determine
in this way the reason for the animal's journey when having the possibility to record exactly the
characteristics of the area where it flies.

12. Handling of hazardous materials

As we said, drones are used for tasks that are too dangerous for humans.

People. In Japan, more precisely in Fukushima, drones were used to obtain an accurate view.
from the interior of the nuclear reactor with the aim of developing a cleaning and prevention plan for future leaks.
The use of the unmanned aircraft in this case was fundamental, as it allowed access to areas that
No human being could tolerate it given the high radiation levels in the area.

13. Like satellites

The possibility of using drones to create internet networks in areas where it has not yet reached is being investigated. These
drones would run on solar energy and could perform the tasks of satellites, but cheaper and in
a specific coverage.

14. Playing with drones

As could be expected, drones are preparing the ground for the games of the future.
Allowing to capture real images of the different scenarios of the world and not as they are until now,
interpretations of the landscapes. What is certain today is that there are available models for the
model airplane enthusiasts. With a moderately accessible price, these aircraft come with cameras
of very good quality, and very easy to maneuver from any smart device.

Drones are here to stay, their uses seem to increase every day alongside the civilian population and
scientific. We are experiencing the rise of creativity in the functions and applications of this device, which
they seem truly infinite. Probably, someday with the advancement of technology, these fascinating
ships will allow us to explore areas beyond the planet and as far as the imagination can reach.
