UK’s National Grid launches drone trial to fully automate asset inspections #drone #droneday
This could be a big step for the drone industry. If successful these drone helpers will increase efficiency and safety. From DroneDJ:
UK’s National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) is launching trials to fully automate the corrosion inspection of electricity transmission pylons with the help of autonomous drones.
The year-long project, which is being conducted through a collaboration with deep tech startups Keen AI and sees.ai, will leverage BVLOS drone flights. The data captured will be processed using artificial intelligence.
Welcome to drone day on the Adafruit blog. Every Monday we deliver the latest news, products and more from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), quadcopter and drone communities. Drones can be used for video & photography (dronies), civil applications, policing, farming, firefighting, military and non-military security work, such as surveillance of pipelines. Previous posts can be found via the #drone tag and our drone / UAV categories.
