Terra Drone Unveils Japan-Made Indoor Inspection Drone: "Terra Xross 1"
Terra Drone Corporation, the world's leading drone service provider for 2024, has announced the simultaneous launch of its innovative indoor inspection drone, the "Terra Xross 1," in both Japan and the United States. This marks the debut of Terra Drone's first in-house developed indoor inspection drone, built to deliver exceptional flight performance in challenging indoor settings, like narrow, dimly lit, and dusty environments. Notably, the "Terra Xross 1" is priced approximately one-third less than competing products, making it more accessible for various users.
Why Terra Drone Developed the "Terra Xross 1"
Indoor inspections often involve hazardous working conditions in tight or elevated spaces, leading to increased preparation time and costs. Although drones can enhance safety and streamline operations, current indoor inspection solutions struggle with instability from the absence of GPS and high startup costs, limiting their usage. To combat these issues, Terra Drone has designed the "Terra Xross 1," equipped with visual odometry sensors and Lidar technology for stable flights. Its easy operation does not require advanced piloting skills, while the in-house development approach allows for a more affordable price point. Additionally, the newly launched "Terra Xross Cloud" enables efficient 3D data management and rapid information sharing, improving overall safety and efficiency.
Key Features of the "Terra Xross 1"
The "Terra Xross 1" is designed for visual inspections, ensuring stable flights while maintaining an economical cost.
