Drone Inspection

Capture every detail from a safe distance.

Inspect assets safely, quickly, and from any angle.

Bridges, substations, or towers are aging faster than programs can inspect them. Skilled climbers and confined-space crews needed to check them are harder to staff every year. Skydio replaces high-risk inspections with an automated, repeatable program, so your team inspects more assets, more often, without adding headcount or putting workers at unnecessary risk.

See every detail.
Before it’s too late.

thermal image of power infrastructure — With best-in-class sensors, thermal imaging, and the ability to access hard-to-reach vantage points, you’ll get a complete picture of your assets down to the millimeter, to stop incidents before they start.

Keep your team and your assets safe.

R10 drone inspecting unsafe confined space — Traditional inspections put workers in hazardous positions: climbing, rappelling, working from scaffolds, entering confined spaces, and working near energized equipment. Skydio drones inspect the same assets from the ground, remotely, or inside structures without anyone entering, so your teams don't have to take those risks.

“

Any time we dig a dry hole that could cost us upwards of $8,000 for restoration crew time, police involvement, for traffic control...With the drone, we were able to guarantee there was a leak in the area that we dug, avoiding a pretty costly excavation that that didn't yield us any results...Within the first three flights, the drone paid for itself by confirming the exact location of a leak.

Jake ReedProgram Manager - Center for Customer Reliability, American Electric Power

“

We track our savings realized, our customer minutes of interruption avoided, everything down to the mileage that we've flown with these drones. Over the last two and a half years, we've avoided about 30 million customer minutes of interruption...So the more drones we have, there's potential to save even more.”

Run inspections at scale.

A single inspection tells you the condition of one asset on one day. Asset Command runs the program: cycles repeat on the cadence you set—annual, seasonal, post-storm, or on request—with the same shot sheet applied to the same assets every time, flown from Skydio Dock for X10 with no pilot on site. Coverage extends across more of the network without adding headcount to match.

X10

The best sensors for a drone this small, piloted by the most advanced AI in the sky.

X10 combines high-resolution visual and radiometric thermal sensors with advanced AI autonomy in a rugged, backpack-portable drone that deploys in under a minute.

X10 combines high-resolution visual and radiometric thermal sensors with advanced AI autonomy in a rugged, backpack-portable drone. Capture critical data for emergency response, asset inspection, site security, situational awareness, and mapping, even in complex or GPS-denied environments.

Dock for X10

Drones at the ready for 911 calls, incident management, site security, asset inspection and emergency response.

Dock for X10 positions drones where the work happens, protecting and charging the aircraft between flights so teams can launch scheduled or on-demand missions without an onsite pilot.

Dock for X10 positions drones where the work happens so teams can remotely launch scheduled or on-demand missions without an onsite pilot. It protects and charges X10 between flights and keeps the aircraft ready for incident response, inspections, security patrols, and continuous site operations.

Asset Command

Your operations run on assets. Now your drone inspections do too.

Asset Command organizes drone inspection work around the infrastructure assets your team manages, turning capture requirements and recurring missions into repeatable programs.

Asset Command organizes drone inspection work around infrastructure assets, capture requirements, and recurring missions. It helps teams standardize how asset data is collected across the network and build a repeatable digital record that inspection programs, audits, and regulators can rely on.

Controller 2

Confidence in your hands.

Controller 2 puts confidence in your hands with a large, bright screen, customizable one-touch commands, reliable connectivity, and an ergonomic design built for long shifts.

Controller 2 gives operators confident control with a large, daylight-readable screen and an ergonomic design built for long shifts. Customizable controls keep essential flight actions within reach, and robust connectivity holds a reliable link to the aircraft at distance and in congested airspace.
