Drones started as a way to put a camera anywhere I wanted. I use them for aerial photography, cinematic video, FPV, and experimenting with the idea of the perfect flying cameraman: one that can follow, frame, and film without needing a pilot behind every shot.
The autonomy experiments are where things get interesting. Long term, I want a drone that can understand its surroundings, navigate on its own, interact with the physical world and, eventually, find an avocado on a tree and bring it back to me.
