An Australian company that uses drones instead of human crews in helicopters to string high-voltage power lines between towers has banked $US23 million ($36 million) from global energy and utility investors.
Founded in 2018 by robotics engineer Cameron Van Der Berg and military veteran Chris Cox, Infravision has developed a system of electric puller tensioners, stringing drones and software that is used by electricity transmission network owner TransGrid and Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) for aerial power line installation.
