Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used in many industries and environmental monitoring systems. They play a particularly important role in the observation and research of difficult-to-access areas, such as watercourses, river basins, reservoirs, and wetlands. The ability to quickly measure basic physicochemical parameters of water, such as temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, and turbidity, is crucial for assessing the condition of the aquatic environment and initiating appropriate actions. The...

The development of UAV-based (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) diagnostic methods has created new opportunities for evaluating high-rise and industrial structures. While traditional multirotor drones are commonly used for visual and thermal inspections, their limited authority control reduces precision when operating close to complex surfaces. This review paper examines the capabilities of omnidirectional UAVs (omnicopters), which offer full control across six degrees of freedom by decoupling translation from rotation. S...
