Karlsson autonomous unmanned aerial robots provide aerial monitoring solutions for construction projects using drones equipped with cameras, thermal imaging, and sensors. The drones can map sites, monitor progress, detect issues, and provide investors and clients with 3D models and visuals. The system aims to operate autonomously using wireless charging stations and a mission control center to gather real-time data for planning and decision making.
Construction monitoring by drones
- 1. Автоматические беспилотные летающие роботы “Karlsson” Leading edge aerial monitoring solutions in construction Karlsson autonomous unmanned aerial robots
- 2. Overview: A modern approach for industrial monitoring Traditional monitoring Smart monitoring ● Rigid plan execution without possibility for last-minute changes ● Monitoring of construction takes long time to be done ● Lack of accurate real-time data showing construction progress ● Lack of individual approach to different parts of construction ● Organized real time data ● Data is collected using various UAV- mounted sensors (photo/video camera, thermal imaging camera, IR sensor) ● Use of predictive analytics and specialized software allowing for better operations planning and adjustments
- 3. Overview: Using aerial monitoring in construction ● Gathering preliminary information ● Construction site preparation: orthophotography, DTM and DEM (3D mapping of the area), determination of geophysical parameters ● Preparation of visual demonstration items for investors and clients (3D models, "view out the window") ● Work progress control ● Workplace safety and security control and compliance supervision ● Additional source of data for decision making and improvement measures ● Prevention of and control over illegal construction ● Thermal imaging building inspection ● Creation of panoramic 3D views of streets, neighborhoods, and buildings Advantages of aerial monitoring: ● real-time data ● advanced data processing ● fine-tuning of the construction
- 4. Application: 3D map creation (DTM and DEM) ● Aerial monitoring provides data for 3D object creation and area's orthophotographic map ● Data is continuously updated and stored as an online map (see map. karlssonproject.com) ● Interactive viewing of objects Better control over the work progress and the ability to provide investors and clients with the most recent visual information. Easier illegal construction detection for government agencies.
- 5. Application: aerial photography and 3D scanning of construction projects ● Aerial photo and video can be used to provide clients with impressive visuals such as the view out the future window at the earliest stages of construction ● A clear demo view of a cottage community or apartment complex being built, with additional infographics directly on the map ● A 3D model of a construction project makes every fine detail available for viewing online ● The model can be used in further planning, including that of landscaping and interior design
- 6. Application: aerial thermal imaging Aerial photography with a thermal imager allows to: ● Detect construction defects - substandard welds, roof leaks, air and heat loss, etc. ● Inspect pipelines to identify stress points wear, coolant leakage, faulty equipment and insulation damage ● Identify even the defects hidden underground ● The data gathered using thermal imaging can be added to an interactive online map with regular updates ● Save time and effort required for thermal inspection of buildings and communications
- 7. Karlsson Automated UAV network Main goal: full autonomy and independence from humans. Solution: autonomous wireless charging stations, mission control center, client system. UAVs and charging station network Mission control Telemetry and data 3G/4G networks Servers UAV generated data used for various purposes Mission control center
