Terra Drone Unveils the “Terra Xross 1” Indoor Inspection Drone
Terra Drone Corporation, recognized as the leading global drone service provider for 2024, has announced the launch of its innovative indoor inspection drone, the “Terra Xross 1”, in both Japan and the United States. This represents the company’s first foray into the development and production of indoor inspection drones. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the “Terra Xross 1” guarantees stable flight performance even in challenging indoor settings such as cramped, poorly lit, and dusty environments. Notably, this advanced drone is positioned at a price point approximately one-third lower than its competitors, making it accessible to a wider array of customers.
Why Terra Xross 1 Was Created
Indoor inspection tasks often entail navigating hazardous conditions in confined or elevated spaces, which can drive up operational costs and necessitate extensive preparation. While drones enhance safety and operational efficiency, many current indoor solutions face challenges such as instability from GPS unavailability and high initial investment, hindering widespread adoption. To combat these issues, Terra Drone engineered the “Terra Xross 1”, incorporating visual odometry sensors and Lidar technology for stable flight, even in the absence of expert piloting skills. Additionally, its in-house development allows for competitive pricing. Alongside this launch, the “Terra Xross Cloud” was introduced to facilitate 3D data management and rapid information sharing, resulting in improved safety, efficiency, and affordability for users, regardless of experience level.
Key Features of the “Terra Xross 1”
Designed specifically for visual inspections, “Terra Xross 1” assures stable operation at an affordable price:
- Stable Flight in Difficult Indoor Conditions: By utilizing both visual odometry sensors and Lidar, “Terra Xross 1” maintains stable indoor flight even in dark or cluttered areas, where conventional sensors may fail. This functionality facilitates smooth operation across a range of environments.
- Cost-Effective at Under $25,000 USD: Through the optimization of its development and production processes, Terra Drone has significantly lowered manufacturing costs, allowing “Terra Xross 1” to be priced at roughly one-third the cost of existing indoor drones.
- Extended Flight Time with Tethering Module: Addressing common limitations of conventional indoor drones, “Terra Xross 1” supports both battery-powered operation and a tethered power module, enabling continuous flight without the risks associated with battery drainage.
- Advanced Imaging Capabilities: The drone is fitted with a 180° tiltable 4K camera and LED lights, enabling the capture of high-resolution images and videos, even in low-visibility conditions.
- Efficient Data Management via “Terra Xross Cloud”: By uploading gathered inspection data to the “Terra Xross Cloud”, users can visualize and manage the collected data in a 3D format, facilitating swift sharing among team members and enhancing workflow efficiency.
Transforming Indoor Inspections with “Terra Xross 1”
Designed for diverse applications across industries, the “Terra Xross 1” offers a cost-effective solution adaptable for various scenarios including:
- Infrastructure Inspection: Evaluating high and confined spaces in oil and gas facilities.
- Mining Mapping: Conducting 3D mapping surveys for planning excavations in underground mining operations.
- Disaster Assessment: Investigating damage in collapsed buildings post-disasters.
- Security Monitoring: Executing safety inspections and surveillance in government and public buildings.
Through the launch of the “Terra Xross 1”, Terra Drone aims to democratize advanced drone technology within the indoor inspection sector. The drone enables stable flight operations without necessitating specialized piloting skills, predicting wide-ranging applications within the market. Terra Drone remains dedicated to enhancing safety and efficiency in indoor inspections across the globe with this groundbreaking Japan-made drone.
