Drones may be a relatively new technology, but artificial intelligence (AI) is already taking the controls. Autonomous drones are beginning to see use in jobs that require smooth, consistent flying, such as deliveries, and NASA and Google have even teamed up to experiment with how autonomous drones compare to human pilots when racing against each other. They discovered that even though humans won the race in the end, they needed to spend more time practicing before they were able to outspeed the autonomous drones. AI is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the drone industry. Right now, though, AI has an even more important task than providing autonomous flight: processing data collected in the field and turning it into actionable insights.

In his new job as a commercial drone pilot, former Army helicopter pilot Tony Zimlich directs a drone-powered field site inspection of a Pennsylvania solar farm. In his new job as a commercial drone pilot, former Army helicopter pilot Tony Zimlich directs a drone-powered field site inspection of a Pennsylvania solar farm. On a recent sunny afternoon at a solar farm outside Philadelphia, Pa., commercial drone pilots Tony Zimlich and Gunner Goldie are preparing for flight. Dressed in hard hats and matching yellow vests, they run through a series of safety and equipment checks, and survey the surrounding terrain and airspace, before picking up what looks like a pair of oversized video game controllers. Then, with a streak of beeps and whirs, their drone -- about the size of a milk crate -- rises steadily into the sky above.

Today I'm excited to speak with Parker Clark who is the CTO at Kespry. To start off our chat, could you describe who Kespry is? Kespry is an aerial intelligence company that's focused on aggregates, mining, AEC, and insurance. We build the whole stack, which includes the drone, all the data capture, backend data processing, and analytics. For someone who has many years of experience in Aggregates, Construction, Insurance or Mining but has no experience with drone technology -- how easy would it be for them to use Kespry? We've been autonomous and focused on autonomy since the first day this company existed.
