Published purpose

The project involves the development and validation of an autonomous electrical transmission line tower inspection hardware and software system. Inspections using drone technology are more efficient than traditional manual methods and take workers out of harm's way. The experience and technology requirements of manual drone inspections are outside the area of expertise of many firms and some older inspectors, so SEM is working towards a semi to fully automated drone inspection solution for transmission towers. Its goal is to make drone technology and the information it captures more accessible by automating as much of the data capture, processing, and distribution pipeline as possible.
