Abstract
A drone includes a body and motors or drives on the body which allow the drone to fly. The drone has two sensors, for steering and for avoiding collisions, and the sensors are each mounted on a servo. The drone also has a camera. A method for avoiding collisions of the drone includes the combination of two detectable 180° hemispheres of the two sensors such that the entire surroundings of the drone is detectable.
