Drone technology has largely been limited to the hobby market as of late, which is no doubt going to change in the near future as we see the technology be used for professional purposes as seen with the conceptual 'SiteWasp' drone.
Created for performing construction site reconnaissance, the drone is ruggedly designed to easily traverse job sites and keep stakeholders informed of what's going on with regards to progress. The drone is also outfitted with 3D scanning technology that will take high-resolution imaging of the space that can then be relayed to the administrators or foremen to manage things from afar.
The conceptual 'SiteWasp' drone is the design work of Sebastian Gier and received an honorable mention at the Red Dot Design Concept Awards for 2018.
