Terra Xross 1 Indoor Inspection Drone

Terra Xross 1 indoor inspection drone: LiDAR-stabilized UAV for confined environments

The Terra Xross 1 Indoor Inspection Drone is a Japan-made UAV developed specifically for professional visual inspections in confined, GPS-denied indoor environments. Designed to operate reliably in dark, dusty, and complex spaces, the platform combines LiDAR-based positioning with visual odometry to deliver stable, predictable flight without relying on satellite navigation. A highly stable protective cage improves operational safety, while a 4K tilting camera and high-output LED lighting enable clear visual inspection data capture. Optional tethered power support allows uninterrupted inspections without battery-related flight limitations.

Indoor flight systems engineered for stability and safety

• LiDAR positioning system: Maintains stable indoor flight without GPS signals
• Visual odometry sensors: Support controlled navigation in low-visibility environments
• Optional tethered power module: Enables continuous operation without battery depletion
• Protective cage structure: Reduces collision risk during close-quarters inspection
• 4K camera system: Captures high-resolution inspection imagery and video
• 180-degree camera tilt: Supports inspection above and below the aircraft
• Integrated LED lighting: Provides up to 10,480 lumens for dark environments
• Compact airframe design: Optimized for navigation in confined indoor spaces

Stable performance in dark, dusty, and confined environments

Indoor inspection environments present challenges such as low light, airborne dust, tight geometry, and the absence of GPS. The Terra Xross 1 addresses these conditions by integrating LiDAR-based displacement measurement with visual odometry, allowing the aircraft to estimate position independently of lighting or visual texture. This hybrid stabilization approach enables smooth, controlled flight even where conventional indoor drones struggle, improving safety and inspection consistency in industrial, underground, and disaster-affected environments.

Continuous mission efficiency with tethered and battery operation

The Terra Xross 1 supports both standard battery-powered operation and an optional tethered power configuration. When tethered, the drone receives a continuous external power supply, eliminating flight time limits and reducing the risk of crashes caused by power depletion. This capability allows inspection teams to complete longer missions in a single deployment, increasing efficiency while reducing downtime associated with battery changes and recovery procedures.
