Wondering, what the future of asset inspection could look like? At the Swissgrid #InnovationDays at Switzerland Innovation Park Biel/Bienne Ltd., employees were able to gain insights of the capabilities of Skydio, a US based drone manufacturer. Skydio drones can fly autonomously without relying on GPS or predefined flight paths, primarily utilizing 360º obstacle avoidance. Skydio drones utilize AI-driven technology reinforced by computer vision and deep learning neural networks. The System acts iteratively based on a loop where the drone sees, understands, and acts accordingly. Skydio’s drones are used currently by the US Government along with US State and Local Governments, and large US utility companies to perform inspection tasks in extremely challenging environments, and to speed up inspections compared to only pilot-controlled drones. The technology enables workflow automation in inspection tasks.  During the Innovation Days employees could witness a 3D indoor scan performed completely autonomously by Skydio X2 drone. The drone was tasked with inspecting a designated 3D cube. Using the cube's boundaries and recognizing the 3D objects within it, the drone autonomously plotted its flight path, determining points and viewing angles for capturing images. This task, which typically demands hours, even with a highly experienced drone pilot, was efficiently completed in less than 15 minutes. Subsequently, a photogrammetry model was generated from the acquired images within the same brief timeframe of 15 minutes. During the second segment of the session, Swissgrid employees were given the opportunity to remotely pilot a Skydio drone from a Dock station at an indoor facility in the US. Following brief instructions on drone control, employees navigated the drone 9,000 KM away at the indoor test site, experiencing both the ease of control, obstacle avoidance, and the precision of its flight. Despite deliberately directing the drone towards objects or executing challenging manoeuvres, no pilot managed to compromise the mission or cause the drone to crash. 👉 The breakout session provided an excellent demonstration of workflow automation achieved through the combination of digitalization and cutting-edge drone technology. #swissgridag #innovation #drones #autonomousflyingdrones #3Dscanning Matthew R.

🚀 I am pleased to share the publication of my first article entitled "Trajectory Tracking Control of an Aerial Manipulator in the Presence of Disturbances and Model Uncertainties" together with Alberto Pasetto, Giulio Fanti, Alberto Benato and Silvio Cocuzza in Applied Sciences MDPI. 🔎 In this article we present two novel Closed-Loop Inverse Kinematics algorithms (CLIK) for aerial manipulators control, one at the velocity and one at the acceleration level. The algorithms show promising results in our free-base systems simulator and we are looking forward to test them in a real-case scenario. 📊 #AerialManipulation #UAV #Drones #Robotics #MobileRobotics #MultibodyDynamics
