A multi-rotor drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) featuring multiple propellers spinning around a central mast. These drones often come equipped with cameras, autopilots, and image processing software, serving purposes such as land surveying, mapping, and various homeland security activities.
The primary types of multirotor drones include quadcopters, hexacopters, tricopters, and octocopters. A quadcopter, for instance, comprises four rotors, each driven by its motor and propeller. These drones find application in tasks like pipeline and infrastructure inspections, while agricultural quadcopters assist in crop monitoring. Various payloads used include camera and imaging systems, control systems, tracking systems, among others, offered across budget, medium, and premium price ranges. They are deployed in surveillance, inspection, monitoring, mapping, surveying, aerial photography, and other commercial, military, government, and consumer-oriented activities.
