The development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires comprehensive research across multiple key technical disciplines. Flight control technology stands as the core module, responsible for UAV attitude adjustment, flight stability maintenance, flight path planning and other core functions. Meanwhile, driven by advances in artificial intelligence, AI has been widely deployed in UAV systems, playing a pivotal role in target recognition, environmental perception, autonomous decision-making and other core capabilities.

To facilitate developers in building customized UAV-based applications, leading manufacturers have launched dedicated Software Development Kits (SDKs). For instance, DJI has integrated point cloud technology into its latest mobile SDK version. This upgrade greatly strengthens the 3D modeling capability and unlocks abundant innovative development possibilities for developers.

Apart from electronic and algorithm technologies, material selection is equally critical for UAV design. Lightweight yet high-strength composite materials are extensively adopted for UAV airframe fabrication. Such materials effectively cut power consumption and extend flight endurance. Widely applied materials include carbon fiber-reinforced plastics and aluminum alloy.

UAVs have been successfully deployed across numerous industries at present:
