The paper presents a study to design and implement a multi-copter with ducted propellers to perform radiological inspections, i.e., near to the radioactive sources and with the best flight time. It must operate in confined spaces or outdoor scenarios and be resilient to collisions. The design is optimized according to the number of rotors and components available in the market. A best combination is implemented and tested in laboratory and in a real outdoor scenarios. The improvements related to ducted propellers are evaluated and reported.
