Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for collecting data via an autonomous drone. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving sensor data collected by at least one sensor via the autonomous drone. The data collected also includes geo-location of the at least one sensor. This sensor data is then stored in a database and analyzed. A request is sent to the drone for additional data collection when the sensor data is determined to be incomplete after analysis.
