UAV Drone Toys - Which Ones Are Right for You?
UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) technology is sweeping the nation and has become a popular choice for many educational institutions. Schools across the country have introduced drones in classrooms to help students learn and retain more in their subjects. This article will provide information on how the newest UAVs can help educate your child and open new doors in the world of education.
There are many types of educational bundles available today. Each bundle varies in price and the programs included. I have provided a list of some of my favorite educational bundles. This list is broken down into price range, types of programs, and types of aircraft that come with each bundle. Here conclude the top three educational packages for drones from F TW Robotics and UADP (ultra high definition robotics)
Drones From F-THX (Thought Air) - My favorite educational package from F-THX is the Drones for all programs bundle. This bundle includes a UAV simulator, Drones Aerial Delivery System, and two types of parachutes. The UAV simulator enables students to operate and fly UAVs both indoors and outdoors. The Drones Aerial Delivery System gives students real-time demonstration of UAV parachute launches and landings in adverse weather conditions. The two parachutes are designed for use in all environments and can be operated manually and automatically, depending on the system.
UAVs from UADP - The UAV Learning Experience with UAV Nexus is designed to introduce students to UAVs through a user-friendly interface. The UAV Learning Experience with UAV Nexus provides easy-to-understand, step-by-step instruction that teaches the basics of operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The two primary modules of this system are UAV Virtual Reality and UAV Obstacle Removal. The virtual reality component of UAV Nexus provides the user with the ability to navigate through a model of a specific location using a map of that area. In the obstacle removal component of the program students are provided with an experience in removing multiple obstacles from a given location while avoiding collision with other UAVs.
Educational Drones from DroneShield - This comprehensive, multi-media learning platform covers everything you need to know about flying a variety of drones from the ground up. It includes extensive manuals and video tutorials, as well as featured projects and detailed maps. Users are also offered access to a library of popular drone videos and images, as well as chance encounters with other experienced drone pilots. A great feature of DroneShield Education is its mission pads. These are interactive and allow students to try their hand at a wide variety of challenges from UAV operation to remote piloted flight. Each mission pad is supported by an impressive range of sensors, including terrain avoidance systems, digital imaging, radio transmitters, and lighting systems to help make each flight mode truly unique.
Dronesected - Long before the term "drone" ever reared it's ugly head, Droneected was an incredibly popular application that let users remotely control planes, boats, and helicopters. Available for both iOS and Android devices, Droneected lets you view a model of your plane and learn how to fly it by analyzing its controls. From beginner levels to expert, the Droneection platform strives to give you every little detail you'll need to enjoy fully operational flights. For added control versatility, the Droneect interface allows you to swap out certain parts and replace damaged components on the fly.
Quadcopter Aerial Machines - If you are looking for a beginner pilots guide to controlling and using quadcopters, then this is the one for you. Even though this particular product is marketed towards hobbyists and RC enthusiasts, it can be used and enjoyed by novice pilots. It gives you step-by-step instructions on how to fly and handle your quadcopter and all the accessories included so that novices can get a feel for the device without having to worry about damaging it during actual operation. With detailed instructions, the quadcopter is very easy to fly and the best thing is that this is available in both a free version and a Pro version with additional features.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - Unmanned aerial vehicles (or UAVs) are just that, unmanned vehicles. While most UAVs can autonomously fly indoors, outdoors they must be controlled via some type of battery powered engine. Most of these devices are electric but there are a few that run on nitro or fuel cell technologies as well. The great thing about these devices is that they can be flown indoors too, but cannot be flown with a human in the loop. With a simple push of a button, a remote control, or a mobile phone, a UAV can literally take off and fly all over the yard.
