OBJECTIVES

Energy harvesting

Harvesting energy from overhead power or rail lines in the proximity of the infrastructure to be inspected to operate the drones for a longer time.

Inspection efficiency

Improving an Al algorithms to recognize infrastructure components and discover automatically eventual faults on assets.

Failsafe Inspection

Producing a safe operational system resisting harsh electromagnetic environments and the effects of high-voltage/
high-current signals.

Collaborative system

Validating a collaborative and centralized drone system to inspect different sides of the desired infrastructure.

Autonomous Navigation

Providing a drone system monitoring and controlling remotely the state and location of the drone.

consortium

The consortium represents the full value-chain for the development of an autonomous, self-charging, collaborative drone system
for inspecting transport infrastructures.

The project is also supported by a team of professional having knowledge and expertise in UAS, AI, railway and bridge inspections.
