Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for facilitating testing of a plurality of devices using a drone. At first, a locating module locates position of the drone relative to the plurality of devices. Further, a receiving module receives an image, of a device of the plurality of devices, from image capturing unit of the drone. Then, a comparing module compares the image with a reference image corresponding to the device. Based on the comparison, a determining module determines an action to be performed for testing the device. Further, a facilitating module facilitates the testing by enabling a snout associated with the drone to perform the action on the device.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed. The UAV comprises a battery, a flight mechanism, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the application discovers an environment where the UAV operates by flying in the environment to determine its boundaries; creates a map of the environment that the UAV flew through; and shares the map with a social robot. The application receives a command from the social robot via the RF transceiver, wherein the social robot receives a verbal request from a user of the social robot, wherein the social robot transforms the user request to a command for the UAV. The application then performs the command from the social robot. The application then lands on a designated charging pad to conserve energy. The application then transmits a report back to the social robot.
