A new report from theAssociation of Unmanned Vehicle Systems Internationalstates that 1,496 of the Federal Aviation Administration's first 3,136 Section 333 flying exemptions for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) went to construction-related applicants.

收入少于100万美元的建筑公司占接受此例外的公司的90%。建筑行业每月的豁免次数大大增加,直到10月达到208年的峰值。

“Construction is one of the biggest verticals we see, with real estate neck and neck,” says Dan Burton, CEO of Los Angeles-based DroneBase, a platform that connects drone pilots with companies who want drone work done.

伯顿的断言反映在AUVSI的无人系统和机器人数据库中,该数据库跟踪了UAS前六个使用类别中的四个类别中的四个。房地产和航空摄影是该报告指出的两个最受欢迎的类别。

Burton says that, over the past year, a few things reflected in the report surprised him. One is DJI’s quick cornering of the market, consumer and otherwise. “If you asked me a year ago, I would have thought there would be an enterprise platform drone that would gain prominence,” says Burton. “But DJI is moving too quickly.”

该报告称,DJI激发了1个无人机的占无人机使用情况的占用。该模型紧随其后的是Phantom 2和幻影3-所有模型。实际上,与所有其他无人机制造商合并的DJI无人机获得了第333条的豁免。3D机器人技术排名第二,但不到DJI的无人机数量的十分之一。

令伯顿感到惊讶的另一件事是,无人机测量仍未得到完善。伯顿说:“您可以将其带到五码线,或者现在的98%准确性。”“但是,直到能够取代人类之前,这项技术还有一点要做。”他说,大约有12个月的创新应该释放这一潜力。
