The use of agricultural drones has ethical and social implications. One benefit is that they are able to monitor and control the use of pesticides properly. This allows minimizing the environmental impact of pesticides. However, drones do not require permission to fly over another person's property at altitudes of under 400 feet (120 m).
An agricultural robot is a robot deployed for agricultural purposes. The main area of application of robots in agriculture today is at the harvesting stage. Emerging applications of robots or drones in agriculture include weed control, [1] [2] [3] cloud seeding, [4] planting seeds, harvesting, environmental monitoring and soil analysis.
Agricultural drones have been used to help build sustainable agriculture all over the world leading to a new generation of agriculture. [189] In this context, there is a proliferation of innovations in both tools and methodologies which allow precise description of vegetation state and also may help to precisely distribute nutrients, pesticides ...
A Yamaha R-MAX, a UAV commonly used for aerial application in Japan. Since the late 1990s, unmanned aerial vehicles have also been used for agricultural spraying. This phenomenon started in Japan and South Korea, where mountainous terrain and relatively small family-owned farms required lower-cost and higher-precision spraying.
In fact, Drone Industry Insights (a commercial drone market consultancy in Germany) has identified "237 ways that drones revolutionize business" [1] and released a 151-page report consisting of 237 applications and 37 real-life case studies throughout 15 industries including agriculture, energy, construction, and mining.

Zipline drones use an assisted take-off to enter flight, and for landing they use an arresting gear-inspired mechatronic recovery system. During a delivery, the Zipline drone does not land, but instead descends to a low height and drops the package to the ground, slowed by a parachute -like air brake .
In agriculture, the use of the Global Positioning System provides benefits in geo-fencing, map-making and surveying. GPS receivers dropped in price over the years, making it more popular for civilian use. With the use of GPS, civilians can produce simple yet highly accurate digitized map without the help of a professional cartographer.
Its camera drone technology is widely used in the music, television, and film industries. The company's products have also been used by military and police forces, [ 6 ] as well as terrorist groups, with the company taking steps to limit access to the latter.
