What is a Drone?
Drones are the popular term for UAV or unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV). Drones are controlled on the ground with a ground remote controller. The controller can vary in different forms. Some controller is the traditional radio controller that you used in your remote controller helicopter, while some uses high-end controllers with the screen. Sometimes, your smartphone or tablet is enough to do the trick.
Controllers communicate to a drone via the radio signal or a wi-fi signal. It usually depends on your controller or with your drone manufacturer.
