Webinar Description/Abstract:
Utility companies continue to focus efforts on proactively inspecting and maintaining utility assets to combat the tens of billions of dollars spent each year on repairs and outages. Unmanned Aircraft Solutions (UAS) are revolutionizing these efforts by offering advanced solutions for various types of inspection, detection, assessment, and monitoring. We’ll dive into how drones are used for advanced inspections, from detecting thermal anomalies and inspecting power lines to monitoring vegetation encroachment and site monitoring. We’ll also explore how AI is bringing further autonomy to this space.

Skydio X10 Sets a New Standard for Drone Imaging Technology
What a drone can do is often defined by what a drone can see.
The Skydio X10 is a new drone that pushes the limits of UAV sensors. It captures best-in-class visual data to help infrastructure operators, utility providers, telecom providers, and other enterprise users complete their toughest jobs.
The X10 combines Skydio’s intelligent flight software with a sensor payload that includes ultra-high resolution visual and radiometric thermal cameras.
These sensors put the whole scene into focus and detect details from a distance – capturing the right visual data for a variety of missions.
