CES 2015: Unleash the Drones!

Prepare for takeoff. Unmanned aircraft are a rapidly growing category in consumer electronics.

At the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it sometimes felt as if an army of drones had been released and was looking for something useful to do.
For the first time, the show floor included an area, called the Unmanned Systems Marketplace, set aside for unmanned aircraft and similar remote-controlled or autonomous products. Over a dozen companies exhibited there, many showing off multirotor gadgets that can fly with or without a human behind the controls.

The market for consumer-geared unmanned aircraft is still small, and it’s not quite clear what the devices will be used for. The companies making them seem to believe buyers will enjoy simply flying around taking videos, and will eventually invent new uses that increase their appeal.
