Utility Line Inspections with Autonomous Drones

Power outages can be quite costly. Assessing damage to power lines and making fixes can be a lot easier with drones. As this video from Skydio shows, autonomous drones with high resolution cameras and obstacle avoidance system can be used to allow workers to get a close look at electrical equipment without any danger.

Thanks to this approach, one pilot can cover more circuit length in less time than a crew of six. You can find out more here.
