Drones are widely used in the industry and are one of the indispensable high-tech tools in modern society. However, with the wide application of drones, we can also see some shortcomings encountered in the current development of drones.
1. Batteries and Endurance:
Short Endurance: Most UAVs rely on Li-ion batteries for power, limiting their ability to perform long-duration missions.
Low Energy Density: Existing battery technologies do not have the energy density to meet the demands of long-duration flights, and breakthroughs are needed to extend endurance.
2. Navigation and Positioning:
GNSS Dependence: UAVs mainly rely on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for localization, but the problem of inaccurate or ineffective localization occurs in signal blocking or interference environments.
Autonomous Navigation: In environments where GNSS signals are not available (e.g. indoors or underground), autonomous UAV navigation technology still needs to be further improved.
3. Obstacle Avoidance and Safety:
Obstacle Avoidance Technology: Current obstacle avoidance technology is not reliable enough in complex environments, especially in high-speed flight or multi-obstacle environments where there is a risk of collision.
Safety and Failure Recovery: The lack of effective emergency response mechanisms if a UAV fails during flight may lead to safety accidents such as crashes.
4. Airspace Management:
Airspace Delimitation: Drones require rational airspace delimitation and strict flight rules to avoid air collisions and airspace conflicts.
Low-Altitude Flight Control: Low-altitude flights of drones need to be incorporated into the existing airspace management system, but many countries and regions have not yet perfected their laws and management measures in this regard.
5. Privacy and Security:
Privacy Protection: The widespread use of drones raises privacy protection issues, such as unauthorized filming and surveillance, which may violate individual privacy.
Security Risk: The risk of drones being used for malicious purposes, such as terrorist activities, smuggling, and illegal surveillance, requires the development of relevant laws and preventive measures.
6. Regulatory Harmonization:
International Regulatory Differences: Drones are an emerging industry, and lagging regulatory policies are common. There are differences in national regulations governing drones, and transnational operations and applications face legal barriers that require international coordination and harmonized standards.
It is believed that in the future, with the development of science and technology, the shortcomings of drone technology will be broken through, these problems will be solved, and the drone industry will flourish.
