Transforming Infrastructure Inspection with Simulation and Autonomy

On-demand Webinar | Free

Infrastructure inspection is one of the most widely used and impactful applications of commercial drones. Conducting inspections with drones significantly reduces associated costs and risks, but running those inspections first in simulation offers even greater benefits including, further efficiency, improved safety for personnel and infrastructure, and accelerated time to deployment. Simulation is also being used to build greater autonomy, which is key to operating at scale.

In this webinar we’ll discuss:

  • The challenges of manual infrastructure inspection
  • How adding simulation to the inspection stack benefits both drone service providers and asset owners and can unlock greater autonomy
  • Real-world examples from sees.ai’s use of simulation for data generation to enhance BVLOS energy grid inspections in the United Kingdom through machine learning and autonomy

Join Microsoft Project AirSim and sees.ai to learn how adding simulation to your inspection offering lowers costs, helps achieve certification, and unlocks commercial opportunities.
