One day, sitting on top of a mountain, a Chinese sage said:
- I wish I could take selfies with the top of the mountain in the frame.
The voice of heaven heard the sage and sent him a drone...
Does this myth correspond to real facts - we're going to tell you.
-
A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle that moves according to a predetermined route or by radio control at the moment of movement.
Nowadays we are no longer surprised when something that does not look like a bird flies through the sky. But was it always like that? Certainly not.
The interesting thing is that the first so-called drones appeared as far back as the 19th century.
The first device that was controlled by radio waves was a submarine, patented by Nikola Tesla in 1898. The scientist's main mission was to counteract wars through the threat of unmistakable weapons, such as a remotely-controlled ship.
Unfortunately, Tesla was unable to avoid government infighting, and it was during World War I that the next drone was created. The Kerckring air torpedo was the first military drone.
Most similar to the modern one, the drone, though with a pilot, was patented by French researcher Etienne Emichen and American scientist George Botezdat in the 1920s.
It is more similar to the drones now used to shoot video, although much larger than they are.
Consequently, if drones used to be used exclusively for military purposes, so why not make them something that can make our daily lives easier now. The future of drones is closer than we think.
Drones are becoming compact
What would you never leave home without?
Without a phone, of course.
A lot of events are forgotten if we don't seek to capture them in our memory. That's why the camera and video camera were invented. In our digital society, one problem remains that has been difficult to solve until now. How do we get everyone in the frame of a family photo? Either way, someone will be left on the other side of the screen.
Vivo found a solution to this problem.
It was the company that patented a phone with a built-in drone. Now if you want to take pictures from different angles, you do not have to carry a whole luggage of equipment. This drone will not only fit in your pocket, but also in your phone.
Travel in a drone
And no, we're not talking about virtual tours of museums of the world or cities. Everything is quite real.
General Motors has shown the world a personal drone that will be able to transport one person. It will be an aerotaxi with vertical takeoff and landing, which will be able to reach speeds of up to 90 km / h and will run on battery power.
Don't forget that you don't have to wait for the release of the unique drone-taxi, you can feel like a passenger in any transport anywhere in the world, just come to us in VR.
