Tokyo, January 31, 2025 \u2013<\/b>Terra Drone Corporation, recognized as the No.1 Drone Service Provider in the world for 2024, has announced the simultaneous release of its in-house developed indoor inspection drone, “Terra Xross 1”, in both Japan and the United States. This is the first(1) indoor inspection drone developed and produced by Terra Drone. Featuring advanced technology, “Terra Xross 1” ensures stable flight performance, even in challenging indoor environments such as cramped, dark, and dusty indoor conditions. Furthermore, it is offered at a price approximately one-third of the competition, making it more accessible to a broader range of customers.<\/p>\n

The Reason Behind Producing \u201cTerra Xross 1\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Indoor inspections often involve dangerous working environments in confined or elevated spaces, requiring significant preparation and raising costs for operations. While drones can improve safety and efficiency, existing indoor solutions face challenges like instability due to the lack of GPS and high initial costs, limiting adoption. To address these issues, Terra Drone developed “Terra Xross 1”, which integrates visual odometry sensors and Lidar for stable flight, making it easy to operate without advanced flight operation skills. Additionally, as an in-house developed product, “Terra Xross 1” enables it to be offered at an affordable price. Furthermore, “Terra Xross Cloud” has been launched simultaneously for 3D data management and rapid data sharing. These innovations enhance safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, unlocking new possibilities for users of all experience levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five Features of \u201cTerra Xross 1\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“Terra Xross 1” is the Japan-Made indoor inspection drone designed for visual inspections, ensuring stable flight while being offered at an affordable cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stable Flight in Challenging Indoor Environments<\/span>
    \n<\/span>“Terra Xross 1” integrates visual odometry sensors and Lidar for stable indoor flight. While conventional visual odometry sensors struggle in cramped, dark, and dusty conditions, Lidar estimates its position based on displacement, ensuring stability without relying solely on visuals. This enables seamless operation even in challenging environments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n
