ABSTRACT

The chapter addresses a comprehensive review of the Internet of Drone Technology (IoDT) and its advancements in different spheres of our daily life with special focus on smart cities. To be more specific, this chapter explores Internet usage in drone technology corresponding to the scenario of intelligent cities. There has also been discussion about the use of IoDT in unmanned vehicles. The chapter also addresses IoDT concerns related to security and communication. Additional IoDT implementations have been addressed in various agricultural usages. It also discusses the usage of IoT-based drone technology to fight against flood and fire outbreaks, and highlights some future changes that can be explored in this field. Some of the new fields that can be enhanced by IoT-backed drone technology are unique applications like traffic management, control of unmanned vehicles, assistance in emergency corridors, intelligent production as well as agricultural development, disaster management, and, last but not least, the management of COVID outbreak.
