Drones

Article
Drones are robots operated remotely, like an unmanned airplane or weapon, or small, servant robots with low intelligence in science fiction.
Drones are controversially used by military forces to perform missile strikes on dangerous targets, to dispose of explosives, or to rescue people in hazardous ruins. Canary drones are used in mining to check if places are safe for miners.
Drones are replacing humans in many areas where it’s too dangerous to send people, but they are also beginning to appear in our domestic lives, the Roomba vacuums our carpet, and drones deliver packages faster than any postman can.
