Resumo: This research proposes positioning obstacle detection sensors by multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) dedicated to detailed inspections in high voltage towers. Different obstacle detection sensors are analyzed to compose a multisensory architecture in a multirotor UAV. The representation of the beam pattern of the sensors is modeled in the CoppeliaSim simulator to analyze the sensors’ coverage and detection performance in simulation. A multirotor UAV is designed to carry the same sensor architecture modeled in the simulation. The aircraft is used to perform flights over a deactivated electrical tower, aiming to evaluate the detection performance of the sensory architecture embedded in the aircraft. The results obtained in the simulation were compared with those obtained in a real scenario of electrical inspections. The proposed method achieved its goals as a mechanism to early evaluate the detection capability of different previously characterized sensor architectures used in multirotor UAV for electrical inspections.
