The current UAV technology only allows applying them to audiovisual tasks, but the best applications with UAVs drones will be the ones not only to see but also to “touch and feel”. Aerial contact AEROARMS technology is a further step into the future to perform industrial contact inspections using a UAV by cutting down time and resources and lowering accidents in the workplace due to falling from heights.
