Artificial intelligence is making Drones more smarter than we think!

Drones are getting smarter than we think and are being used for more than just photography and videography. 

• Drones are now being used in industrial and commercial applications, from inspecting power lines to searching for missing persons.

• But what is AI? Well, AI stands for artificial intelligence. It's a type of software that uses algorithms to perform tasks without needing human intervention or supervision. In other words, it learns on its own how to perform certain tasks without any help from humans or computers.

AI has been around for almost 50 years now. The first commercial application of AI was with IBM's Deep Blue Supercomputer in 1997 at the time when chess was considered one of the most challenging games in terms of computational power and difficulty. Since then, artificial intelligence has evolved into something so much more complex than these simple examples would suggest.

•  Drones are  increasingly being used for more than just surveillance and military purposes.
•   In fact, drones are helping firefighters save lives by delivering medical supplies to remote areas, transporting food and water to communities in need, and even providing search-and-rescue missions.

• Using AI technology to make drones more intelligent has been proven to be a successful strategy. One company that has done this is "Skycatch", a drone maker based in Israel that has developed its own proprietary software platform called Skycatch Visual Intelligence Platform (VIP).

VIP uses machine learning methods to recognize objects and then classify them into various categories based on their shape, size and other characteristics. This allows the drone to recognize objects like cars or people without having prior knowledge about what they look like. It can also differentiate between similar objects in different environments as well as identify which ones it shouldn't hit during flights because they're too close together or have specific characteristics such as propellers or wings that may interfere with its flight path.

The VIP platform is a collaborative effort between Skycatch's engineers and data scientists who work together to refine the system's algorithms so that it can better identify objects in real time when they're captured by cameras mounted on the drone's

It's not hard to imagine the future of drones: autonomous flights, self-flying vehicles and even flying cars. But these technologies aren't just for science fiction anymore.

Here are some surprising ways drones are helping our lives today:

1. Drones are making farming more efficient

Drones can be used for crop monitoring and management, which saves time and money for farmers. They can also help identify where there are pests or weeds, which helps farmers decide how to treat their crops effectively.

2. Drones are helping people with disabilities

Drones can help people with disabilities get outside and do things that they couldn't do before — like ride a bike or play soccer. The DroneDeploy platform is one example of a company that makes it possible for anyone to fly a drone at home with their smartphone or tablet computer (no pilot license required).
