... a drone that is controlled by four rotors.

CONT

The rotors on the quadcopter each consist of a motor and a propeller. In addition, these UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] are always controlled remotely instead of being controlled by a pre‑programmed, onboard computer. Quadcopters resemble helicopters, but balance themselves by the movement of the blades and not by the use of a tail rotor.
