autonomous drone
Unmanned flying robot
An autonomous drone is an uncrewed aircraft that operates without real-time human control, using onboard sensors and programming to navigate, make decisions, and complete tasks independently.
These range from commercial delivery drones to military systems capable of surveillance or strikes.
The term often appears in debates about automated weapons: Should autonomous drones be allowed to select targets without human approval?
