[A narrator begins speaking off-screen]
The National Research Council of Canada is introducing a ground-breaking new system to improve bridge inspections.
[A drone pilot operates a drone flying around a bridge]
Combining AI, augmented reality, and drone technologies, our system offers a safer, faster, cheaper and greener way to inspect bridges.
[The drone pilot is shown wearing an augmented reality headset and a view is shown of what the pilot sees inside the headset]
The AI module automatically detects surface defects in real-time through images relayed by the drone.
[A remote inspector at a desk reviews the drone data on a computer screen]
These defects are highlighted in augmented reality and presented to the remote inspectors.
This innovative system streamlines the inspection process and keeps inspectors safely on the ground.
[A remote inspector completes a report]
Our drone technology is paving the way for the future of infrastructure maintenance.
