This new development in remote flight technology allows the inspection of confined spaces in a simple, effective way and with complete control of all possible variables during flight.
Flying a drone in a confined space requires very particular technical specifications. Features such as stabilization, active surface tracking and lighting, among others, are essential to carry out a high-quality remote inspection..
Avoiding collisions during flight is important, but unrealistic in a confined environment. STEREO2 incorporates external protection that allows it to collide with surfaces or obstacles without posing a danger to the drone.
Its small diameter, less than 40 cm, makes its flight extremely agile. STEREO2 can enter confined spaces through manholes with great ease, it is even capable of flying inside pipes.
Stabilization is a critical aspect during flight. STEREO2 incorporates optical stabilization, allowing it to fly even without a GPS signal, showing them in real time to the pilot and recording his movements for subsequent 3D reconstruction.
Darkness is common in confined spaces. Having a lighting system specially prepared for this condition is of vital importance. STEREO2 incorporates a powerful and uniform lighting system of 12,000 lumens, provided by 6 LED panels. 4 of them provide uniform lighting on the front of the drone and 2 follow the movement of the camera automatically, ensuring the best possible lighting, even in inspections carried out in total darkness conditions.
STEREO2 has an operating mode specially developed to optimize visibility in conditions of dust or vapor in suspension. In addition, it has a passive ventilation system, with large openings that allows quick cleaning, only with dry air.
The better the definition of the drone’s video images, the better the pilot’s ability to understand the hostile environments in which they fly. STEREO2 has the ability to take photos and videos in 4K@1080p in real time.
