A recent feature by The Drone Script explored an interesting question: “What would the world miss if Perceptual Robotics didn’t exist?” The article highlights how our technology is helping transform wind turbine inspections through AI-powered drone solutions that improve safety, efficiency, and data-driven maintenance decisions.

Read our take on this in the full article here!

During a recent proof of concept in Scotland, acoustic data from the Windrover monitoring sensor indicated unusual vibration patterns on a turbine blade.

The signal suggested that something might be happening, but acoustics alone cannot provide all the information.

A Dhalion inspection was then carried out on the turbine.

The drone inspection confirmed the presence and the type of blade damage in the area indicated by the acoustic system.

This is where the combination becomes interesting.

Continuous monitoring systems can alert operators when something unusual appears. Drone blade inspections can then verify the condition of the blade visually and in detail. And if the drone is an Eve sitting in the region or wind farm, this confirmation can be done even on the same day of the continuous monitoring system alert.

Detection.
Confirmation.
Faster decisions.

It’s also about repeatability.

If two inspections of the same turbine produce completely different results, comparing damage progression becomes difficult.

The Dhalion system was designed with condition monitoring and repeatability in mind.

The drone follows a predefined automatic flight path, capturing images at consistent positions every time. During processing, the matching system aligns inspection images with centimetre-level accuracy.

That combination, consistent flight and precise image matching, makes it possible to compare inspections across time, across turbines, and even across different pilots.

That together with our side by side display helps the end user have control of the inspection data and monitor changes across time.

When the process stays stable, the data becomes far more useful.

And that’s where real insight starts to appear and we can talk about condition monitoring and preventative maintenance.

We got flowers (that we split in several vases!) and chocolate in our Bristol office from Skyforest (Sweden) with a lovely note about our support.

We also got Rotortech (India) happily describing in Linkedin how patient support was and how our automation had changed their daily work for better.

For the Support team which works under stress and tight deadlines to help in real time our customers in the field, getting this has been invaluable. Helping others remotely is always a challenge, connection issues, language barriers, everyone under pressure in the field and in the office. So getting this from two of our customers has been a great surprise and highly appreciated by all the team. We can only say thank you publicly to Skyforest and Rotortech and to our great Support team!

It’s one of the main renewable energy gatherings in the UK and always brings together operators, developers, technology teams and researchers from across the sector.

Events like this are a good opportunity to step away from daily operations and talk about the bigger picture: how inspection technology, automation and AI are changing the way wind farms are managed.

If you’re attending the event and want to talk about autonomous inspections, blade monitoring or digital inspection workflows, come and say hello.

We’re looking forward to the conversations.

The post All Energy Glasgow – See You There appeared first on Perceptual Robotics.

With fresh backing from Loggerhead Ventures and renewed trust from One Planet Capital, we’re accelerating what matters most: scaling access to in-house drone operations across the wind industry.

The demand is clear. 

Operators want more control, faster insights, and fewer operational bottlenecks. 

Our technology is built to deliver exactly that. Bringing inspections closer to the asset, reducing downtime, and removing unnecessary complexity.

This investment allows us to:

• Expand the reach of our in-house inspection solutions
• Continue developing tools that put control directly in the hands of site teams
• Support the growing need for efficient, scalable wind turbine maintenance

We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to be building it with partners who share our vision for a more efficient, sustainable energy sector.

Prepare, press play, monitor the drone inspecting, review images, move to the next turbine. And repeat. (Of course you can also stop for lunch or to admire the sights or the sheep around)

An easy repeatable work flow that requires little effort, and allows speed in the field and the capture of high quality images of the blades for AI data processing. You can see the images in the field and you can get full results (reports, classification, expert review) in as little as 48h.

What are you waiting for to join the drone in spections? What is your reason not to? Tell us and we can find a solution for that.

One of our inspection units has just arrived in Jamaica, where it will support blade inspections at Wigton.

For local teams, having inspection capability on site changes the pace of operations. Instead of waiting for external campaigns, turbines can be checked whenever needed after storms, during routine maintenance, or when something simply doesn’t look right.

Fast inspections help catch problems early. And early detection often makes the difference between a minor repair and a major one.

We’re looking forward to seeing Dot at work in the Caribbean wind sector.

If you’re attending, come and visit the Perceptual Robotics’  team at booth 9-H118.

We’re showcasing how autonomous inspections, AI-driven damage detection and on-site inspection tools like Eve are helping operators manage blade maintenance more efficiently.

Events like this are always a reminder that the wind industry moves forward through collaboration. Operators, OEMs, service providers and technology teams all tackling the same challenges.

We are happy to announce Kevin Lind, our CTO, will be one of the speakers in Blades Europe. His presentation will focus on in-housing inspections and using economic estimates for blade damage repair prioritisation

He will be speaking on the second day of the summit (29th April) at 12.10-12:30. Don’t miss the date!
