The Impact of Drone Technology on Society: benefits and challenge

Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, Florence, Italy

Drones have rapidly evolved from toys into indispensable tools across diverse sectors. Their impact is undeniable, from revolutionizing logistics and delivery to offering critical disaster relief. This symposium convenes experts to explore cutting-edge drone technology. We'll examine current progress and identify key areas for innovation to unlock these machines full potential.

BEST TALK AWARD 2024

The cash prize for the Best Talk went to Engineer Giacomo Pinagli of Sigma Ingegneria S.r.l. from Lucca, Italy. The award was presented after a vote by the entire audience at the end of the two-day symposium. The quality of the research and the clarity of the presentation were evaluated. The open-access journal Drones, published by MDPI, presented the award.
