A Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) capable of navigating in outdoor environments by means of proprioceptive data fusion techniques as well as in indoor and particularly in constrained spaces is here presented. The aim of this system is to inspect failures or procedures correctness inside dangerous areas where human presence should be avoided for long or short time periods. This solution has been oriented toward the specific context of visual inspection of industrial area and it has been tested in a laboratory testbed. In this paper we present hardware and software development of a MAV that can reliably navigate both in outdoor and indoor scenarios making it possible to autonomously change the working location.
