Drone quadcopter tested for use in bridge maintenance

HACHIOJI, Japan - A camera drone with four propellers, developed by a Tohoku University research team, is tested for the maintenance of infrastructure by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on Nov. 17, 2014, at a river bank in Hachioji, Tokyo, as it flies to check the condition of a bridge.

    (240514) -- DONGCHUAN, May 14, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Researchers Song Dongri (R), Zhong Wei (L) and Wei Li investigate and evaluate the condition of a sand-retaining dam in Dongchuan District of Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province, May 8, 2024. The Jiangjiagou ravine, located in the Xiaojiang River Basin, was a frequent landslide occurring area. In 1961, an observation and research station of debris flows, known as Dongchuan Station, was established in Jiangjiagou area. Since then, several generations of researchers have observed and studied debris flows, and established a comprehensive disaster reduction model of "stabilizing, blocking and draining", which has laid the foundation of debris flow science in China. A large-scale dynamic simulation experiment platform for mountain disaster was recently put into use in Dongchuan Station. The completion of this scientific device will reveal the natural law of debris flow outbreak, tackle the problems on prevention and control, and reduce the harm on human.
