Zero UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Zero UAV (Beijing) Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. (Zero Tech, 零度智控智能科技有限公司), most of which are multirotors. Zero Tech was formerly known as Yan-Shuo Intelligent Electronics Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (研硕智电科技发展有限公司) before changing to the current name of Zero Tech in 2009.
