Project description
Energy companies flying high for real-time analysis
Drones can replace people in the assessment of infrastructure and land surfaces, which is crucial for the energy industry. On-site missions and visits are currently conducted, but the results are substandard and without possibilities of forecasting. They may also be dangerous. In this context, the EU-funded MYRIAD project will develop a drone-based inspection and surveying system for the energy sector. Using artificial intelligence for addressing and forecasting real-time anomalies, this drone will be fully autonomous and capable of surveying targets around the clock. Compared to human inspections, the drone is expected to reduce workload and operational costs by more than 50 %.
