Abstract: A system and method for measuring three-dimensional coordinates is provided. The system includes an aerial drone, an optical scanning device and a processor system. The aerial drone includes a plurality of landing support legs on one side and a plurality of plurality of support struts on an opposite side, the aerial drone having at least one thrust device. The optical scanning device is coupled to the aerial drone, the optical scanning device being configured to measure three-dimensional coordinates of at least one point. The processor system is configured to position the plurality of support struts against a surface in the environment using the thrust devices prior to operating the optical scanning device.
