FPV (First Person View) technology has revolutionized various fields, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), robotics, and renewable energy systems. This paper provides a detailed overview of FPV technology, focusing on its applications, advantages, and recent advancements. Initially developed for military and surveillance purposes, FPV technology has evolved to become more accessible and widely adopted in civilian sectors. The paper explores how FPV technology enhances user experience, improves efficiency, and offers environmental benefits. In recreational activities, FPV drones are widely used in drone racing and freestyle flying, providing an immersive and engaging experience. Professionally, FPV drones are employed for aerial photography, infrastructure inspection, and search and rescue operations, where the real-time video feed enables operators to make immediate decisions and adjustments, significantly improving task efficiency and safety. In robotics, FPV technology is used in teleoperated robots for industrial inspection and search and rescue missions, allowing operators to control devices with greater accuracy and confidence. In renewable energy systems, FPV technology is applied to floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems, which are solar panels installed on water bodies. These systems benefit from the cooling effect of water, improving performance and lifespan, and help conserve land for other uses, making them suitable for densely populated areas. Additionally, FPV systems reduce water evaporation, which is beneficial in water-scarce regions. Recent advancements in FPV technology include high-definition video, extended range, and integration with artificial intelligence (AI), which provide real-time analytics and decision-making support. Despite challenges such as regulatory constraints, technical issues, and ethical considerations, the future of FPV technology looks promising. Ongoing innovations and expanding applications in fields such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, and entertainment will further enhance the capabilities and utility of FPV systems. As the technology continues to evolve, it will play a crucial role in shaping the future of unmanned systems and renewable energy solutions.
