Tokyo, April 21, 2026 – Terra Drone Corporation, a leading drone and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) technology company headquartered in Japan, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a distribution agreement for “Terra Xross 1” with Remote Robotic Systems (hereinafter referred to as “RRS”, formerly RMUS Canada), a premier provider of enterprise robotics solutions across Canada. Through this strategic partnership, Terra Drone and RRS will expand the distribution of “Terra Xross 1” to the Canadian market, addressing the growing demand for specialized indoor industrial inspections.
About Terra Xross 1: High Performance Meets Accessibility
The “Terra Xross 1” is designed to revolutionize indoor and confined-space inspections. In these challenging environments, drone inspections not only enhance worker safety by keeping them out of hazardous areas but also significantly improve efficiency and cost performance compared to traditional manual methods.
Terra Drone has achieved stable indoor flight performance with a LiDAR-based and visual odometry-based navigation system for “Terra Xross 1” enabling a significantly lower cost of deployment compared to conventional solutions. By lowering operational barriers, Terra Drone allows organizations to scale robotic inspection programs more efficiently across various sectors. The system has been developed based on continuous feedback from industrial operators and real-world deployments, with a focus on improving reliability, usability, and performance in demanding inspection environments.

Partnering with a Canadian Industry Leader
RRS is a leading provider of enterprise robotics solutions serving industrial and public safety organizations across Canada. The company has a proven track record in robotics integration and deployment since 2017 (formerly as RMUS Canada), with extensive experience in the mining, energy, and public safety sectors.
With strategic offices in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia, RRS has successfully delivered enterprise-grade solutions to a diverse range of clients, demonstrating deep expertise in critical infrastructure, oil and gas, and emergency response industries.
Going forward, Terra Drone and RRS will work together to broaden the reach of “Terra Xross 1,” which is revolutionizing the indoor inspection industry by making drone technology more accessible to a wider customer base that has been hesitant to adopt it due to concerns over unstable flight performance and high price. Under this agreement, Terra Drone and RRS will provide enhanced and more accessible customer support through their nationwide service network.
The Strategic Context: Canadian Market Needs and RRS’s Role
Canada’s industrial landscape is defined by vast and remote operations—from the oil sands of Alberta to the deep-shaft mines of Ontario and Quebec. These sectors require high-precision data collection in extreme and GPS-denied environments to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. There is an urgent demand for rugged, reliable platforms that can navigate complex indoor environments, such as mining tunnels, hydroelectric turbine halls, and oil refinery compartments.
Against this backdrop, the need for versatile platforms like “Terra Xross 1” is significant in environments where manual inspection poses high risks to workers. RRS stands out for its “Enterprise Robotics” approach, offering not just hardware, but complete integration of land, air, and maritime systems. Their ability to provide nationwide operational support ensures that Canadian organizations can scale their robotics programs effectively. By combining Terra Drone’s cutting-edge sensor technology with RRS’s deep-rooted technical expertise and multi-province presence, this partnership is poised to set a new standard for industrial inspection and public safety operations across Canada.
