This comprehensive review delves into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on drone technology, examining its pivotal role in revolutionizing various applications. As drones continue to evolve from recreational gadgets to indispensable tools across industries, the integration of AI enhances their capabilities, enabling advanced functionalities and expanding their potential use cases. The convergence of AI and drone technology has given rise to a myriad of applications, transforming industries ranging from agriculture to surveillance. Machine learning algorithms empower drones with autonomous navigation capabilities, allowing them to navigate complex environments and adapt to dynamic scenarios. Computer vision technologies enable drones to perceive and analyze visual information, facilitating tasks such as object recognition, tracking, and environmental monitoring. These advancements significantly contribute to enhanced aerial surveying, precision agriculture, and disaster response efforts. In the realm of precision agriculture, AI-equipped drones aid in crop monitoring, disease detection, and yield estimation, optimizing resource allocation and boosting agricultural productivity. Drones with AI-driven capabilities are increasingly employed in environmental monitoring, wildlife conservation, and disaster response, providing real-time data for efficient decision-making. Recent trends in AI-infused drone technology highlight its dynamic evolution. Edge computing solutions empower drones to process data locally, reducing latency and enhancing real-time responsiveness. Reinforcement learning algorithms enable drones to learn from their experiences, adapting and optimizing their performance over time. Swarm intelligence, an emerging field in drone technology, leverages AI to enable coordinated and synchronized actions among multiple drones, expanding their capabilities for collaborative tasks. In conclusion, this review sheds light on the pivotal role of AI in transforming drone technology and expanding its applications. The synergy between AI and drones has unlocked new possibilities across various industries, ranging from agriculture to disaster response. As technology continues to advance, the collaborative integration of AI and drones promises to redefine the future of aerial technology, introducing unprecedented efficiencies and capabilities across diverse sectors.
