Automation is a trend that can be seen in just about any technological field. By removing the need for manual input, the idea is to make industrial and commercial processes faster, more reliable, and free from the limitations of human judgment.

According to the FAA rules, any drone that weighs between 0.55 and 55 lbs. need to be registered.
