Definition
Waypoint missions are automated flight paths for drones defined by a series of geographical points (waypoints). The drone autonomously flies from one waypoint to the next, performing pre-programmed actions such as hovering, taking photos, or adjusting altitude at each point.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
Waypoint missions are fundamental to automated drone operations in AI engineering, enabling precise and repeatable data collection, surveillance, and complex aerial manoeuvres.
