Photo by Steve Anderson - A team of Western researchers are leveraging the capabilities of autonomous aerial vehicles, most commonly drones, to deliver innovative, safe and secure methods of data collection for an extensive list of commercial and non-commercial operations. As drone technology rapidly develops and advances, the global level of interest and viability has soared exponentially. Beyond traditional military, surveillance and hobbyist applications, drones have become an industry staple for business, government and society. And the demand continues to rise. "It's no longer a question of whether drones are the future," said Anwar Haque , Faculty of Science industry-expert-in-residence and computer sciences professor, who leads a team at Western Information and Networking Group (WING) research lab investigating drone applications. "Drones are the present and they are here to stay as part of our smart digital society." Specifically, the scientists at WING Lab are currently using drones and the latest in Bell 5G wireless technology to tackle a number of real-world problems, including hazardous space exploration, remote infrastructure inspection, cargo shipping and long-distance delivery, and home security.
