Key factors restraining the market growth
“Technical barriers associated with autonomous drones”
Autonomous drones are integrated with several technologies like sensors, cameras, GPS systems, and others. All these technologies are essential to successfully conduct delivery services. Incidents like the loss of GPS signals for any drone could result in hurdles in finding the location of the customer. Complex algorithms utilizing a fusion of sensors, including laser, cameras, and inertial measurement units for localization and mapping, obstacle avoidance, and path planning are needed for autonomous drones flying in GPS-denied locations.
Due to sensor limitations, algorithms may fail, which may cause drones to become disoriented or collide. Strong winds can cause drones to drift and crash into immovable objects like trees and into moving objects like birds. Under certain environmental circumstances, sensors can malfunction. Owing to these limitations associated with autonomous drones, they will be less likely to prefer by end-users and therefore, the market growth is expected to be hampered.
