We ve detailed what it means to conduct underground surveys and inspections with drones as well as how the technology can be used to safely monitor and inspect inaccessible places. These efficiencies are being enabled by tools like the Elios 2 from Flyability, which has created new standards around inspecting, monitoring and exploring confined places. The distinctive spherical cage of the Elios 2 allows it to remain stable while capturing essential information in places that are dangerous or otherwise inaccessible.
A recent case study highlighted the kind of difference such tools can make in those exact types of situations, as the Elios 2 was used for an inspection in Reactor Five at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The Elios 2 drone provided stakeholders with their clearest view of many aspects of the facility for the first time since the 1986 disaster. They were able to collect enough visual data to determine that nuclear waste was not present anywhere in the inspection
