Reducing costs and expenditures while improving the efficiency of technological solutions is essential for large‐scale industries. Industries such as mining, ports, gas, and large plants involve processes and applications where human power may be at risk or impossible to use. Areas of inspection may include infrastructure maintenance, leak detection, equipment monitoring, security surveillance, and quick hazard monitoring. In such areas, one can rely upon drone technology to assist in better visibility, investigation, and quick alerting of failures in various systems. Hence, large‐scale industries are quite interested in investing in drones to maintain systems and infrastructure for efficiency and productivity. In this chapter, we identified various types of drones and drone technologies to help readers better understand the technology. Furthermore, note that challenges to drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially obstacle detection, battery life, and attackers, need to be overcome for them to fly or operate effectively. Here, we discussed UAV categorization, automation systems, and future areas of interest in business and research. Various control techniques for their construction process, manufacture, and analysis are also explored in depth. Moreover, obstacles to UAV function or operations are highlighted and examined, including fast charging, emergency braking, and security.
