About Kite

We present to you Kite! An autonomous drone-based solution for power transmission tower inspection. A drone navigates along the target transmission line and alerts the repair crew once defective insulators are found. The drone can inspect the whole line timely by quickly charging in stationary docks deployed along the line.

We are a group of graduating students from the University of Waterloo Mechatronics Engineering, class of 2024.

Connect with us if your local grid can use an inspection system like this via the Google Groups email, or individually by clicking the photos below.
