Drones
Bill formed a company OwlSight, which is a service company for inspections using drones with high resolution camera ( i.e. FLIR tau 9).
During the talk, Bill will be discussing the use of drones for a variety of applications. Drones are beginning to displace helicopter surveys due to cost and inherent operating risk. In the US, there were 106 accidents involving full scale helicopters in 2016. 17 were fatal accidents. There are 9 helicopter accidents for every 10,000 hours flown in America and 1.4 of those accidents are fatal. Drones solve the problem as no person or bystanders has ever been killed using a UAS for commercial purposes. At the presentation, Bill will demonstrate two small drone in the room and take your questions. Bill hopes to spread his love for robots and their safe use as an alternative to flying full size helicopters equipped with cameras.

Bill’s interest in Drones (AKA UAS; Unmanned Aircraft Systems ) is driven by a personal event which shaped his life’s ambition. A fall his father experienced when he was very young, propelled his interest is finding a better method to inspect large structures without risking life and limb. Bill’s skills span robotics, drone instructor, and proprietor of drone imagery.
