Parrot Ventures Into Professional Drones As Demand For Personal UAVs Falls

The applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones as they are commonly known are being explored across a wide gamut of industries. However, the demand for personal drones is declining as the initial enthusiasm over owning them has waned. Parrot, which is one of the biggest drone makers globally announced its latest range of drones, called the Parrot Professional, which will cater to the needs of farmers and firefighters. It has revealed two new models -- Parrot Bluegrass for agriculture and Parrot Bebop-Pro Thermal, for thermal imaging. The Bebop-Pro Thermal has a thermal imaging camera coupled with a regular video camera, which will track the sources of heat and help firefighters rescue people caught in burning buildings.
