美国：无人机巡检资料
English-language WebSearch on drone/UAS inspection by asset (bridges, power lines, railways, dams, penstocks, sewers, refineries/tanks, wind, solar, telecom towers, building facades) and regulation (FAA BVLOS waivers, Part 108, NYC rules, Florida procurement ban). Preferred FHWA/USDOT, state DOTs, federal agencies (Reclamation, DOE/Sandia), ASCE, universities, and trade press (T&D World, POWER, Chemical Processing, RCR Wireless). Vendor/press-release items limited to about one-third. Pages were opened with WebFetch where possible; the shared search and fetch budgets ran out mid-task, so three items rely on search-result data only and the planned nuclear, mining, port, tunnel and pipeline searches could not be run.
