Differences Between Autopilots and Controllers

While there is no strict division between autopilots and controllers for unmanned aerial vehicles, the term “autopilot” is generally used to refer to systems that allow a UAV to travel autonomously, without someone manually controlling the vehicle from the ground. Autopilot units are often integrated into ground control stations (GCS), on which the parameters for the journey of the UAV are set. The autopilot will subsequently control the drone or other unmanned vehicle as it carries out the flight plan that has been set. Multiple cargo delivery companies use these systems.

The term “controller”, on the other hand, is generally used for units that allow users to control their UAV in real time. As long as the remote controller is within the transmission range of the vehicle, the user can alter the direction of their UAV on the fly. Remote UAV controllers are sometimes used in combination with a transmission module. Controlling your vehicle with a remote controller may be useful when you are using your drone for filming purposes in a situation in which you expect you have to alter the camera angle and position.
