Is A Drone A Robot?

The question, “Is a drone a robot?"

Friend or foe, love them or hate them, are drones, robots?

Apparently, it’s the user that decides its fate. To either create a wonderful tool to bring happiness and joy, or to bring death and destruction!

Generally, drones can be used for the greater good. Fitted with filming or camera equipment, it can bring a new perspective to watching a video or programme on television.

With no wires attached the ariel views capture images not seen before, this was surely a great robot to have.

But unfortunately, like most products with positive attributes, there are those who view new products in a more sinister way.

Turning a docile positive flying object into a flying spy, or a machine, with a licence to kill!

Now, we have flying unmanned machines that kill people from great distances without harm to its unknown user...

To top it off, they’ve now created insect drones.

How scary is that, for how will we ever be able to tell them apart?

However, maybe we should be worried now; especially as homes are being filled with modern technology; fridge freezers that order milk on our behalf and robot vacuum cleaners that clean carpets without being told. Devices that turn lights or heating on or off when spoken to and the use of a fingerprint sensory door opening system (instead of using door keys), the list is endless…

How do we know that this modern tech is not spying and keeping tabs on us as they record and monitor our every move?

For now, I’d say treat your vacuum with respect, as you never know when you’re gonna need an ally!

But hey, I’m no scientist.

So, is a drone a robot?

What do you think?
