Abstract
There are systems and methods for automatic mold detection, disinfection, and historical documentation. A system comprises: a drone; a data collection module to collect mold diagnostic data from an interior of a structure and configured to be transported by the drone; a disinfectant module to remediate a mold condition and configured to be transported by the drone; a mold diagnostic circuit configured to: diagnose mold conditions based on the mold diagnostic data; instruct the disinfectant module to remediate a portion of the interior structure based on diagnosed mold conditions; and maintain a historic record of mold conditions and remediations.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a drone;
- a data collection module to collect mold diagnostic data from an interior of a structure and configured to be transported by the drone;
- a disinfectant module to remediate a mold condition and configured to be transported by the drone;
- a mold diagnostic circuit configured to:
- diagnose mold conditions based on the mold diagnostic data;
- instruct the disinfectant module to remediate a portion of the interior structure based on diagnosed mold conditions;
- and
- maintain a historic record of mold conditions and remediations.
A method comprising:
- collecting mold diagnostic data from indoor spaces of a building via a data collection module transported by a drone;
- generating a mold model based on collected mold diagnostic data;
- diagnosing mold conditions based on the mold model;
- and
- instructing a disinfectant module to remediate a portion of the indoor spaces based on diagnosed mold conditions.
A drone comprising:
- a data collection module to collect mold diagnostic data from an interior of a structure;
- a disinfectant module to remediate a mold condition;
- a mold diagnostic circuit comprising an artificial intelligence engine configured to be trained with the mold diagnostic data in at least near real-time to identify a contour of a moldy zone and configured to:
- diagnose mold conditions based on the mold diagnostic data;
- instruct the disinfectant module to remediate a portion of the interior of the structure within the contour of the moldy zone based on diagnosed mold conditions;
- and
- maintain a historic record of mold conditions and remediations.
