The present invention relates to an autonomous drone using an artificial intelligence (AI) neural network. The autonomous drone in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a sensor group including a plurality of sensors installed on a body of the drone; and a control module enabling the drone to autonomously fly to inputted destination coordinates based on sensor data received from the sensor group, wherein the sensor group includes: a depth recognizing camera installed to face a forward direction of the drone; and at least five ultrasonic sensors installed to face a left-sided direction, a right-sided direction, a backward direction, an upward direction, and a downward direction of the drone except the forward direction thereof and the control module includes: a collision avoidance control unit determining a next waypoint of the drone, based on an image from the depth recognizing camera and ultrasonic distance values from the ultrasonic sensors; and a flight controller configured to control a flying motor and a transmission of the drone, based on the next waypoint generated by the collision avoidance control unit. Accordingly, the drone uses an AI neural network to automatically identify and avoid an obstacle on a flight route where the drone autonomously flies, thereby safely arriving at a destination.
