Concrete curing systems employing drones

Abstract

Automated systems for managing the curing of concrete employ drones that may be employed without contacting a surface of the concrete. The drones may include sensing drones, which may monitor one or more conditions of the concrete as it cures, application drones, which may apply moisture, curing aids, and/or other chemicals to the concrete to control the manner in which the concrete cures, and/or support drones that may carry conduits that extend between a source of moisture, a curing aid, and/or another chemical and an application drone to prevent the conduits from contacting the surface of the concrete. Such a system may also include a central control unit that receives information about the curing concrete and uses that information to manage curing of the concrete, including coordination of the movement and operation of various drones used to manage curing of the concrete.
