I bet there would be a market for a drone that could crawl around on stuff like a spider. Roofs, trees, cliffs, canyons, etc. With all those legs, it'd be easy to stabilize enough to have some arms to interact with surroundings if necessary.

Is that blood in the streets of Correctionville?
Good catch, I didn't even notice that in the middle of nowhere Iowa, there appears to have been a major traffic jam at the time I took the picture. Pretty funny.

How close does the scanner need to be to whatever it is scanning in order to get a useful reading?
From the equipment I have seen you can fly about 6-15' out (thermal camera) and get a really detailed Image. Let me try to find my link sheet on it and post some links up
The reason I ask is that if you don't have to be super close, then you can probably get most of the data from the edge of a ladder.
Here's the DJI version

Flying in first person view you wouldn't even need the ladder. The downfall of flying in fpv is the faa requires a spotter (copilot) and even then you can't fly out of your spotters view.
And registration and I believe they are working on a UAV pilots test but that might be just rumor.
