项目摘要

Confined spaces currently account for around 15 deaths per year in the UK alone -- a loss rate which can and should be diminished to zero, through the use of technology in large infrastructure projects. HyBird is developing technology to meet this target through autonomous confined space UAV solutions, comprising a small, lightweight, collision-tolerant smart drone, an autonomous deployment docking station, and an AI-based in-situ material characterisation and threat detection and inspection software. These capabilities will minimise the need to send personnel into potentially hazardous environments -- and will analyse and assess the environment for threats/dangers in case it is required for one to enter. In addition to the human safety cost, extreme environments cost infrastructure projects billions of pounds each year due to defects, site down-time, and labour costs. Deployment of such a system can reduce the cost of inspection by in excess of 80%, whilst drastically improving productivity -- through early defect detection, and reduced down-time. HyBird's autonomous UAV solution will directly benefit asset owners, as well as service providers in the infrastructure/construction space; for a relatively small investment, the return on investment is realised through reduced project costs, lower health and safety risk, greater quality analytics, service transparency, and ultimately more business opportunities.

目前，仅在英国，密闭空间每年就造成约15人死亡，通过在大型基础设施项目中使用技术，这一损失率可以而且应该减少到零。HyBird正在开发技术，通过自主受限空间无人机解决方案来实现这一目标，该解决方案包括小型、轻型、耐碰撞的智能无人机、自主部署对接站以及基于人工智能的原位材料表征和威胁检测和检查软件。这些能力将最大限度地减少派遣人员进入潜在危险环境的必要性，并将分析和评估环境中的威胁/危险，以防需要进入。除了人类安全成本外，由于缺陷、现场停机时间和劳动力成本，极端环境每年使基础设施项目损失数十亿英镑。部署这样一个系统可以减少超过80%的检测成本，同时通过早期缺陷检测和减少停机时间，大大提高生产率。HyBird的自主无人机解决方案将直接使资产所有者以及基础设施/建筑领域的服务提供商受益;对于相对较小的投资，投资回报将通过降低项目成本，降低健康和安全风险，提高质量分析，服务透明度以及最终更多的商业机会来实现。
