Across
- 2. The transmission and reception of data from a drone's sensors, such as altitude, speed, and battery life, to a ground control station or other device.
- 5. A device that measures acceleration and changes in velocity in multiple directions.
- 9. A device that sends and receives radio frequency signals, to enable communication between a drone and ground control station, or between drones in a swarm.
- 12. A device that performs calculations and processes data in a drone's control system.
- 13. An electronic system that controls an aircraft's trajectory, altitude, and speed, without direct human intervention.
- 14. A device that detects and responds to physical stimuli, such as changes in temperature, pressure, or movement.
- 15. A device that provides electrical energy to power the various components of a drone.
Down
- 1. The central control unit of a drone, which processes sensor data, issues commands to the various components, and manages the drone's flight.
- 3. A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, to power the rotors or other moving parts of a drone.
- 4. A device that measures angular velocity and changes in orientation in multiple directions.
- 6. A device that captures visual images and video in a drone, for photography, videography, or other applications.
- 7. A device that controls the position, speed, and torque of a drone's moving parts, such as the rotor blades or camera gimbal.
- 8. A device that measures air pressure and altitude, often used in conjunction with other sensors in a drone's control system.
- 10. A device that converts electrical or mechanical signals into physical movement, such as controlling the pitch or yaw of a drone.
- 11. Global Positioning System, a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on Earth.
