Drones today are a multi-billion dollar industry revolutionizing many businesses, but they are mainly a tool for taking images and collecting data. We have created a new drone design to expand the applications into physical work such as: high-rise window washing, pressure washing, painting, and contact inspections. This work is currently performed by workers using rope or scaffolding to gain access to tall structures. Performing these jobs via drone drastically reduces costs and complete the job in a fraction of the time. Our core focus will be in contact inspection and we will branch out into other industries as the technology matures.
