Industrial inspection
See the defect, measure it, turn it into a report.
The programme teaches the method of visual and thermal drone inspection at energy and industrial sites: risk management, correct thermal measurement, defect classification and reporting.
In the practical part you work on power-line, solar-panel and industrial-site scenarios.
