Researchers from the University of Canterbury have successfully developed chainsaw drones.
It comes off the back of eight years of development aiming to build drones that can traverse complex environments.
The team has heard from multiple businesses that agree these drones could vastly improve the health and safety of their staff.
Computer science professor Richard Green led the project.
