Full Automation...with Ground Robotics
We’re excited to announce the BETA launch of DroneDeploy’s Ground Robotics solution.
With this new solution, users send ground robots, such as rovers or quadrupeds like Spot from Boston Dynamics, on autonomous inspection missions. Equipped with payloads such as 360 cameras, thermal cameras, or gas sensors, the robots will capture data of their environment and push this back to the DroneDeploy platform for analysis.
Regular inspections are vital to keeping construction projects on schedule, but capturing this data is labor-intensive. Traditionally, employees had to walk around job sites with handheld cameras or scanners. But with DroneDeploy, robots like Spot can be equipped with a 360 camera and sent on autonomous inspection missions. Once this data is uploaded to DroneDeploy, you can view a 360 Walkthrough of your building interior by floor or level. Easily tag and annotate issues such as loose wiring, broken pipes, or debris, and assign these to employees, reducing rework down the line.
Manually inspecting solar farms can take months, with employees traveling to remote locations and walking for miles in high temperatures to check the condition of assets. But with DroneDeploy, you can send ground robots to perform these routine inspections autonomously, capturing high resolution images of assets along with accurate geolocation data. Once data is uploaded to DroneDeploy, you can tag and annotate issues like disconnected cables or damaged bearings and send maintenance teams to fix them.
Ground Robotics is a limited BETA for Enterprise customers only. Please contact your DroneDeploy Customer Success Manager for more information.
