Terra Drone Unveils the Japan-Made Indoor Inspection Drone “Terra Xross 1” Simultaneously in Japan and the U.S.
Terra Drone Corporation, recognized as the world’s leading Drone Service Provider for 2024, has launched its latest innovation, the “Terra Xross 1” indoor inspection drone, simultaneously in Japan and the United States. As Terra Drone’s first indoor drone development, the Terra Xross 1 is engineered with cutting-edge technology to perform robustly in restrictive indoor conditions, including tight, dark, and dusty spaces. It is also competitively priced at roughly one-third of similar models on the market, enhancing accessibility for various users.
The Motivation Behind Developing “Terra Xross 1”
Indoor inspections frequently involve hazardous environments and require careful preparation, which can inflate operational costs. Although drones can significantly enhance safety and efficiency, many existing indoor solutions suffer from issues like instability, especially due to limited GPS functionality, and high initial costs, hindering widespread adoption. To combat these challenges, Terra Drone has crafted “Terra Xross 1”, which utilizes visual odometry sensors paired with Lidar technology to ensure stable flight performance, even for operators without advanced piloting skills. Additionally, through in-house development, Terra Drone can offer this drone at an economical price point. Complementarily, the launch of “Terra Xross Cloud” facilitates efficient 3D data management and swift data sharing to improve safety and operational effectiveness.
Key Features of “Terra Xross 1”
The “Terra Xross 1” is specifically designed for visual inspections and includes significant innovations:
- Stable Flight Capabilities: The integration of visual odometry sensors and Lidar provides reliable flight stability in challenging indoor conditions, even when visibility may be poor.
- Affordability: Priced under $25,000 USD, it is approximately one-third the cost of competing indoor drones due to optimized production processes.
- Extended Flight Time Options: Featuring a tethered power module alongside conventional battery operation, the Terra Xross 1 allows for continuous flights without interruption from battery depletion.
- Advanced Imaging Technology: The 180° tiltable 4K camera, coupled with powerful LED lighting, enables high-quality image capture in low-light environments.
- Efficient Data Management: Users can visualize data collected during inspections in 3D and manage point cloud data effortlessly using the “Terra Xross Cloud”.
Revolutionizing Indoor Inspections with “Terra Xross 1”
The “Terra Xross 1” is tailored for various applications across numerous industries:
- Infrastructure Inspection: Ideal for exploring high or confined areas within oil and gas facilities.
- Mining Surveys: Capable of conducting 3D mapping for planning in underground mines.
- Disaster Recovery: Effective for assessing damage in collapsed structures following disasters.
