Drones can be used to inspect agricultural pivots in a number of ways, including:

• Visual inspection: Drones can be equipped with cameras that can be used to take high-resolution images of pivots. These images can then be used to visually inspect the pivots for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.

  
  

• Thermal imaging: Drones can also be equipped with thermal imaging cameras that can be used to detect heat signatures. This can be useful for identifying hot spots on pivots that may be indicative of problems.

  
  

• LiDAR: Drones can also be equipped with LiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensors that can be used to create three-dimensional models of pivots. This can be useful for identifying areas of wear and damage that may not be visible from the ground
