Flying Robots
Compact unmanned aerial vehicles will perform many valuable jobs if aviation regulations allow them to operate commercially.
I dont use the word drone, which originally referred to remotely piloted planes used for anti-aircraft target practice and is now closely associated with long-range surveillance and strike vehicles operated by the military (see The World as Free-Fire Zone). But I do envision wider use of aircraft with sensors, perception, and intelligence. I call them flying robots.
