This autonomous drone inspection system consists of the Orca industrial drone and a self-developed fully automatic airport, the Tiger Den. Batteries and sensor pods are replaced automatically in the Tiger Den, allowing the drone to take off again within three minutes. The inspection drone itself is made of carbon fibre and can continuously record and process data for maintenance purposes.
Statement by the Jury
The Orca and Tiger Den are well harmonised functionally and aesthetically to form a smart, integrated system.
