Given that high-voltage online inspection is essential today, the proposal is to assemble three low-cost drones that can perform autonomous flights, with an artificial intelligence embedded in each, where the first inspects the wires, according to inspect the tower and third inspect the servitude range independently, issuing alert in cases of irregularity in the area.
