This Master's thesis represents the preliminary design study and proposes
the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) -based inspection framework, comprising
several multirotors with automatic charging and deployment for 24/7
integrity inspection tasks. This project has three main topics. First one describes
the operational environment and existing regulations that cover use
of UAVs. It forms the basis for proposal of the relevant use-case scenarios.
Third part comprises two chapters, where design of concept and framework
is being based on the previous factors. It shows that before implementation
of fully autonomous inspection system, there is a need to cover both regulatory
and technical gaps. It can be explained by the fact that there does not
exist any autonomous inspection system today. Thus, this project can be
seen as a base for future development of the UAV-based inspection system,
as it focuses on creation of a general framework
