Recently American drone manufacturer Skydio announced a partnership with EagleView. Skydio is one of the emerging companies in drone technology while EagleView is a leading technology provider of aerial imagery, data analytics, and GIS solutions. The two tech giants have partnered to deliver autonomous drone inspection for roofs using the Skydio House Scan technology.
Autonomous Drone Inspection for Residential Properties
The multi-year and multi-million dollar partnership could be one of the largest commercial drone partnership ever. Additionally, the collaboration is “To deliver Skydio House Scan™ to several major country markets,” a press release stated. “The partnership brings the power of precision drone technology and AI to insurance carriers, claims adjusters, and government bodies and will result in the largest ever commercial drone deployment with thousands of units deployed.”

Lowering Costs & Increasing Efficiency
In the U.S, the average cost of a property inspection can range from $300 to $500. Adding on to that, manual inspection is time-consuming and may sometimes miss out on minute details. Moreover, this initiative will not just lower the costs but also lower the time taken, capture highly detailed data, and automate the process.
“We are excited to partner with EagleView to revolutionize the residential roof inspection market through the power of autonomous drones and AI,” said Adam Bry, CEO of Skydio. “Together with EagleView, we provide insurance carriers, claims adjusters, construction companies, and government bodies with a first-of-its-kind integrated solution that automates the entire inspection process. Thanks to the unique flight autonomy capabilities of Skydio drones, we are able to enhance virtual property inspections, delivering exceptional accuracy, consistency, and image quality.”
