**5. Automated telecommunication relay inspection process**

In order to solve the issues related to the human-based inspection process, we designed a new process by introducing a new technique based on the use of autonomous UAVs capable of overcoming the issues faced during such operations. Introducing such a process allows the evaluation of telecommunications relays (NodB) physical state and improves the inspection operation by tackling its major problems such as safety, cost and efficiency. To illustrate our new process we built a quadrotor UAV which provides the needed agility and stability during the flight ensuring a reliable gathering of image/video data.
