Better and safer operations
Inspecting powerline infrastructure with manned helicopters is dangerous and use a lot of fuel! Unmanned drones will for sure gradually replace manned helicopters for most powerline inspections. It is however not easy to manually control a camera many kilometers out while flying fast.
Bergen Robotikk has developed an AI based robotic camera that locate and take detailed images of specific parts of pylons - fully autonomous! Our system is a game-changer for inspections of remote power lines!
Our system uses the Sony ILX-LR1 with a 61 MP sensor. The camera shoot incredible images, is lightweight at 243 grams (8.57 oz), and no bulky extras like a screen or battery!
Our system can track specific components or do sequences of images - based on user preferences.
