Terra Drone Aerial Survey Tech

Tuesday September 21, 2021. 02:13 AM , from Akihabara News
Akihabara News (Tokyo) — Terra Drone, a startup established in 2016 specializing in unmanned hardware and surveying methods, has applied its technology to preventing secondary disasters at a landslide site in the Kyushu region.

Utilizing lasers, drones were used to trace contour lines and cross-sectional maps to determine which areas were affected by heavy rains, and to guide people away from treks on unstable land.

Although the area surveyed was covered with heavy vegetation, the technology still allowed for a detailed topographical map to be produced with less than five centimeters of error.

Terra Drone’s surveying technology has previously been applied to the inspection of industrial sites such as construction and mining. It has recently developed a drone mechanism for the ultrasonic inspection of overhead cranes.

Crane inspections are required to ensure workplace safety, but the high altitude of the machines make it a dangerous job. Through this new way of carrying out inspections, Terra Drone cuts the time and cost of crane examinations significantly and safely.

Terra Drone continues to branch out into other dimensions of aerial technology, with a recent alliance with Mitsui Bussan Aerospace to commercialize air mobility with drones, helicopters, and flying cars.

On August 27, Terra Drone was selected by the Osaka government for the Demonstration Experiment for the Realization of a Flying Car.
