Our main goal is to build drones that can detect and grasp energized overhead powerline cables for inspection, monitoring, and recharging operations.
Our key interest is to develop autonomous drones that can identify overhead cables, mitigate disturbances, and safely grasp on powerlines and railway cables without modifying the infrastructures.
Our interests encompass onboard processing, AI, sensor fusion, EMI shielding, and drone mechanical designs.
The Drone Infrastructure Inspection and Interaction (Diii) group is part of the SDU UAS Center at the University of Southern Denmark.
