Drone Today and Drone 100 Years Ago
100 years ago, drones could barely stay in the air.
Today, drones can:
– Capture 4K cinematic videos
– Dodge obstacles mid-flight
– Follow you while you jog.
All by themselves!
The difference?
It’s not just the hardware.
But the brain inside: embedded systems.
Then (100 years ago):
– Simple mechanical controls
– No cameras, no GPS, no real-time data
– Flights were unstable, short, and unpredictable
Fast forward to now:
– Embedded sensors detect motion, tilt, and altitude in milliseconds
– Microcontrollers constantly adjust motor speeds for perfect balance
– GPS modules guide drones across continents, not just fields
AI chips allow drones to think, recognise objects, follow people, and even avoid birds in mid-air.
All of this magic runs silently on millions of lines of code, inside tiny embedded systems.
Quietly operating.
Constantly adapting.
Making the impossible look effortless.
It’s not just flight anymore.
It’s intelligence in motion.
Do you have an idea that you believe in?
Let’s connect and explore how we can bring it to life.
