Unmanned aerial vehicle, a bright red sun industry

Now the science and technology people like to find blue sea, more like to use words to put some just out of the industry paint color, true or false blue sea area add up fast to catch an Indian Ocean, such as taxi software is blue sea, wearable equipment is blue sea, K12 online education is blue sea, safe mobile phone is blue sea ... The predictions of foreign experts will stimulate the stock market to some extent, the famous Dr Mo's report often affects the sales of one handset and Wall Street's attitude to the company; domestic experts ' views are low, it is hard to stimulate the stock market, at best, to stimulate the hit list, after all, our technology media is far from the truth, Few people have concentrated on doing research, so that we have to pay double the energy to read, one side to absorb new knowledge, but also to pay energy to distinguish the truth.

But foreign and domestic experts on the Blue Ocean view has one thing in common, that is, on paper, the blue sea forming rate is very low, 99% of the blue sea industry will be due to technology, market, business model, policy supervision and other factors remain in the technology media "front-page headlines", this is probably the legendary fate bar!

With the popularization of UAV-related applications, more and more technology people believe that the UAV will be the next blue sea in the field of robotics, from Google to Amazon, from DHL to shun Fung Logistics, from the small town of California to China's Hebei rural areas, all in the speculation of the concept of human machine, and in film and television aerial shoot, automatic spraying pesticides, and logistics delivery and other industries, so that the concept of the virtual become true and concrete. This transformation attracted a large number of investors to hit the money, ready to make a false-start advantage, but also attracted regulators, they must first of all to protect the existing civil aviation system is not damaged, and more importantly, can not threaten the "machine" security and the existing stable professional chain.

In other words, the drone wants to fly higher, not only to solve the related technical problems, but also to solve the problem of human nature, and this is any robot industry must face the subject.

Unmanned aerial vehicle, a bright red sun industry

In fact, the concept of UAV quickly heating up, apart from the intensive influx of capital and a dazzling range of research results, the more important reason is that the potential drone demand is too obvious, these needs even ordinary consumers can understand, not to mention the daily study of the market professionals who:

First, the most widespread use of drones comes from agriculture, perhaps, with the development of the industry, the future of farm work will be given to unmanned aircraft, Chinese literati can no longer sing "Hoe wo day when, sweat wo under the earth" Such a great poem, and the leg of a new generation of farmers even no longer touch the mud. The most elementary application of unmanned aerial vehicles to agriculture is the automatic spraying of pesticides, the automation of sowing, and the driving of sparrows, which have been taken care of in the rural areas of Hebei, but far from all the research and development results. A French farmer owns 210 hectares of farm he provided his own drones with multiple sets of lenses, taking pictures of the farm's infrared, near-infrared and visible light from 9 angles, which were uploaded to the server as the underlying data, allowing professionals to analyze the levels of chlorophyll content and biomass, Thus, the optimal timing and dosage of fertilization have greatly improved the efficiency of fertilization on the farm, which will not only increase economic benefits from fertilization itself, but also improve the environmental pollution caused by excessive fertilization and increase food production, while French farmers conservatively estimate that no one has the opportunity to help them generate 100 dollars per hectare. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles in agriculture in China is another benefit, he can help peasant workers brother, peasant college students back to the countryside decently, in fact, there is more need for professional knowledge and professionals, and only in this way, those who left the village in the long deserted fields will be rejuvenated, to feed the city and rural people their own stomach.

Second, UAV is also widely used in aerial photography, map mapping and other fields. In the movie, those who let the human astounding lens, those real volcanic eruption's picture, also, the animal world beautiful picture All is uses in the unmanned aerial vehicle to photograph, may say, the aerial photograph is one of unmanned aircraft earliest application. In addition, with the development of related technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles in the field of surveying and mapping applications are increasingly frequent, more accurate at the same time, but also to save costs, a Canadian company to measure Ontario's garbage clean-up, the hiring of unmanned drones only cost 7000 of dollars, compared to the previous manual measurement cost of nearly 50% The bigger advantage of drones in surveying and mapping is that it can go to any hard environment, including the Moon and Mars.

Now, the industry has generally reached a consensus that the value of robots in addition to the completion of some human work can not be completed, the more important task is to help people from the heavy, boring, monotonous, repetitive, dangerous and other unpleasant work environment free. UAV as a branch of the robot, it is natural to achieve this mission.

During the national day, we often see a number of cleaners climbed the mountain cliff to clean up the tourists littering litter, some of the most beautiful pictures of the year have also seen Chinese workers crawl up to the more than 10-metre chimney alone, doing the most dangerous jobs in the world, and they may not need to go to cover magazines or accept false praises, They're just thinking about remote drones to get these things done by robots that are not afraid to die and have no children. Coincidentally, this is also a big trend of UAV development, in some visible research results, unmanned aerial vehicles can protect workers from the cumbersome and dangerous work, to help people complete line inspection, garbage cleaning (automatic air blowing, garbage blown away) and painting walls, and so on, greatly reducing the risk factor for natural persons.

In addition, express brother is also an urgent need for the rescue of a group of unmanned aircraft. Double 11, the legendary courier buddies can earn a monthly million, but I have a few friends to do express, often complained that the courier staff is not easy to recruit, to pay no one to do, "monthly income million" is only a perfect state, to achieve this income level of people, not only to have good physical strength, endurance, but also a strong will quality and dedication , you have to die directly ... Now, a large part of the most obsessed with the concept of the UAV is the electrical and logistics enterprises, such as Amazon, DHL and domestic logistics and so on. A few days ago, a German used a six-rotor drone to successfully send a book to its destination, although more than traditional trucks and express electric vehicles cost much higher, but the UAV has a faster speed, as well as express all the outstanding quality, its flying speed of 80 kilometers, do not have to be restricted by traffic lights, eventually, The delivery was carried out by air, and researchers said it would continue to help courier deliveries for breakfast, fresh vegetables and any sometimes restrictive requirements.

Monitoring human nature, how can drones fly higher?

There is no doubt that the UAV has a very broad application prospects, can penetrate almost all the basic human life field, the huge market demand determines the lower limit of the UAV, this industry will fly, but the relevant technology development, business model, policy support determines the upper limit of the drone, in fact, every solution to a problem, Drones can fly higher:

Technical problems are the first Test in all fields of technology and the real backbone of an industry that is not technologically close, and those so-called business models and policy support are all nonsense.

Now the ordinary UAV can control the price under 1000 U.S. dollars, the reason for a substantial decline is the most important factor is the maturity of the relevant technology. For example, the most popular smartphone components are essential materials for UAVs, including gyroscopes, accelerometers, wireless transmissions, signal processors and GPS modules, and so on, which are not emerging technologies, the relevant suppliers are also very mature, and the market condition of short supply leads to the falling prices. But these relatively mature technologies are only the basic framework, to create a good UAV, still need more advanced technology to support, such as anti-collision technology, more accurate GPS positioning system, more mature large data processing technology and more advanced materials technology and so on. These technologies not only determine the cost of the drone, but also determine the industry's development process.

In addition, the development of any new technology will have to balance the resistance of humanity and interest groups. It is well known that no one has the opportunity to replace some of the heavy labor of mankind, and the cost is lower, according to the International Unmanned Aerial Flight Association estimates, the drone industry can bring 70,000 jobs and 13 billion U.S. dollars in economic contribution, although they have not come to China estimates, but certainly not. But such numbers are not good news for everyone, and traditional workers lose their jobs, and even the most basic life is threatened, which is what leaders must consider. Moreover, the world does not have a perfect UAV monitoring mechanism and traffic control system, that is, the existing unmanned aerial vehicles are "black fly", this state is a large number of security risks, such as unmanned aerial vehicles and the distribution of the aircraft channel, how to effectively avoid two kinds of machine collision, For example, the proliferation of drones will heighten human privacy concerns and provide criminals with cheaper conditions, if not mature regulation, the paparazzi may need to rent an unmanned aerial aircraft to be more photographed in any star room of the private picture, too beautiful, do not dare to imagine.

In short, the UAV industry is a red-sun enterprise, is a revolutionary tool, but to truly safely help people change their lives requires relevant units to solve the problem: technology companies are responsible for technology, large data, light sensors are all done; business people are responsible for integrating the supply chain, so that the price can be applied to ordinary enterprises , and the regulatory departments need to establish a sound law, as well as the implementation of practical monitoring mechanisms to ensure that unmanned aircraft in the future to fly higher and farther.
