Flying over Hazardous Inspections
Using an Intelligent Flying Robot, inspectors can safely perform measurements and inspections without exposure to potential hazards.
Intelligent Flying robots, such as the SKYRON, offer a precise and low-risk alternative to conventional inspection methods. This robot allows a pair of inspectors to perform measurements and inspections without exposure to potential hazards safely.
One example of the robot's capabilities is its ability to perform Non-Destructive Testing on a contaminated Surge Tank. The tank's hazardous environment made it challenging to conduct conventional inspections. By utilizing the intelligent flying robot, the inspectors could avoid close contact with the contaminated materials and conduct a safe Ultrasonic Thickness inspection. This highlights the potential for more NDT inspections to be conducted in hazardous environments without risking the safety of inspectors.

Case study
A large metal vessel of a Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) unit requires an extensive inspection from every angle, but cramped spaces and high temperatures make the inspection challenging. This inspection was done with a flying robot to avoid putting people in the small and hot areas.
This swarm of autonomous flying robots is a research collaboration between the Micro Air Vehicle Lab (MAVLab) at TU Delft and financed by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
In my earlier article- Monarchy in the Swarm, I tried to answer the question, how to convert individual drones into a swarm.
