If anyone has any links to examples of drones and associated technology being used for facility management or building maintenance and operation tasks I would be grateful for some leads and links.
If it is a field of interest for you, Sebastien Goessens, a researcher from the GCE unit of the EPL (UCL) is currently carrying a research on the application of drones in building construction. http://www.uclouvain.be/sebastien.goessens
