NYUAD and ADAC use drone technology to maintain safety standards at Abu Dhabi International Airport

NYU Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Airport Commission are working together to protect and ensure the safety of infrastructure at the city's new international airport, and ensure the safety of workers.
The aerodynamic design of the airport roof isn't safe for humans to inspect. Engineers at NYU Abu Dhabi are building a drone with robotic arms to do the work instead, "minimizing the risks and hazards of using humans in difficult tasks," says Anthony Tzes, professor of computer and electrical engineering.
