“Innovative sUAV (Drone) Solutions: Greener Construction workshop on Drone Technology & Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAVs)”
The materials you can find here are a collection of training materials and video lectures that formed part of an immersive workshop offering hands-on experience of Drone use in the construction industry and a clear perspective on its application. In partnership with SkillsHub:MK, MKAI will be organising the first Greener Construction Workshop on Drone Technology and small Unmanned Arial Vehicles (sUAV) will take place on 14th July, 1-4pm BST at the Chaffron Centre, Milton Keynes, MK6 5LP.
Following popular demand from the virtual Drones & AI workshop in early 2022, Drone-Services.Biz is aiming to deliver this particular workshop as immersive and innovative as possible. The session will incorporate real-world sustainability case studies, interactive segments and a lot of live drone teaching with practical feedback from industry professionals and an experienced, certified sUAV pilot.
The workshop will be on-site, with some workshop segments offered in different alternate formats incl. in-app screen recordings, immersive 360-videos, and behind-the-scenes footage – giving participants the chance to observe from different viewing angles and perspectives (trainer vs. drone).
Sessions include:
A practical overview of both drone hardware (predominantly with an airborne DJI Mini drone family with some bigger drones on site too) and software to fly them as well as post-flight AI analysis and editing software.
Practical flight demonstrations incl. simple person-/object-tracking with Ai, Way-point mapping missions and Aerial videography/photography.
Exploration and discussion of business-oriented drone applications incl. Infrastructure inspection, Surveying & Geospatial mapping for nature conservation and greener construction purposes.
Construction companies in the local area will be able to see how to implement drone technology in their workflow. The workshop is aimed to inspire, give participants concrete pointers on how to use innovations such as drone tech, and artificial intelligence for post-processing/geospatial mapping and to overcome initial barriers so that businesses can research sUAVs further, develop their own sUAV-based solutions and confidently embrace innovative tech and empower themselves - the Sky is literally the limit!
