Add to Google Calendar
SkySpecs is an Ann Arbor based software company that develops autonomous drone systems to automate infrastructure inspection and maintenance. SkySpecs' inspection drone requires only the single push of a button to start the inspection. From that point forward the drone collects all of the images and measurements completely on its own without any prior information. SkySpecs analyzes the data to provide predictive maintenance reports and repair recommendations.
