Fujitsu drone uses wheels to roll along bridges, walls
13.05.2015
Due to a reporting error, the seventh paragraph of the story "Fujitsu drone uses wheels to roll along bridges, walls," posted Tuesday, misstated the resolution of the drone's camera. It can image cracks as small as 0.2mm across. The story has been corrected on the wire and the corrected paragraph follows:
The fisheye camera can capture close-up views of bridges and capture cracks as small as 0.2mm wide. The imagery is relayed to tablets or remote servers and used to create detailed 3D models of bridge pillars and undersides for remote inspection by engineers. If they spot a worrisome crack, they can then check out the structure in person.
