Books on technology become outdated as soon as the technology changes faster and tries to take a good shape. But something that will not become outdated is the idea and thinking of something outside the box. In this book, we have discussed building some smart drones. We used a number of modern technologies, including Arduino and ESP8266, but you need to know one thing before starting this book. This book will enlighten you about building drones using the latest technology. To be honest, this book is not for complete beginners. You need to have a good working knowledge of electronics and programming. You need to know about Arduino and Wi-Fi technologies. All of the chapters are designed for you to get the idea and build full-phase drones. But you might miss something that is untold there, which is a challenge for you to research and increase the thirst for the drone technology, but to build successful drones, all you need is a lot of motivation, as everything you want to include in your drone is already on the market, you just have to gather them, code them, and use them. I hope this book will help you to make your journey on the path of building smart drones easier. Who knows, someday you may create something that no one ever imagined. I will wait for your success and will be delighted to know if you make anything smarter.

Overview of this book
With the use of drones, DIY projects have taken off. Programmers are rapidly moving from traditional application programming to developing exciting multi-utility projects.
This book will teach you to build industry-level drones with Arduino and ESP8266 and their modified versions of hardware.
With this book, you will explore techniques for leveraging the tiny WiFi chip to enhance your drone and control it over a mobile phone. This book will start with teaching you how to solve problems while building your own WiFi controlled Arduino based drone. You will also learn how to build a Quadcopter and a mission critical drone. Moving on you will learn how to build a prototype drone that will be given a mission to complete which it will do it itself. You will also learn to build various exciting projects such as gliding and racing drones. By the end of this book you will learn how to maintain and troubleshoot your drone.
By the end of this book, you will have learned to build drones using ESP8266 and Arduino and leverage their functionalities to the fullest.
