Spatial Scale
Confirm minimum passage width, turning radius, obstacle density and takeoff/landing space before selecting airframe size and protection.
INDOOR AUTONOMOUS INSPECTION DRONES
I5 / I7 Drones for Confined-Space Inspection
One Autonomous Indoor-Inspection Capability for Two Spatial Scales
I5 uses a full cage and compact airframe for tight, obstacle-dense spaces; I7 covers metro tunnels and large open spaces with longer no-load endurance, higher payload and multi-directional mounting.

PRODUCT POSITIONING
Select the Platform by Mission Boundary instead of Using One Aircraft for Every Space
Confined spaces differ not only in area, but also in minimum passage width, route length, obstacle density, airflow, low light, communication obstruction and required payload. I5 and I7 cover complementary scenarios through different airframe sizes, protection, endurance and payload capability.
Aircraft type and configuration should be determined after site survey and prototype validation. Website parameters support preliminary selection and do not replace project technical agreements.
Mission Duration
Assess endurance from per-sortie coverage, hover time, payload weight and return reserve.
Sensing Payload
Confirm payload, mounting position and power/communication interfaces according to imaging, ranging, lighting and acquisition tasks.
Environmental Risk
Assess collision, dust, dripping water, airflow, communication obstruction and coexistence with personnel and equipment.
I5 / COMPACT CAGEFOR CONFINED & NARROW SPACES
I5: Bring a Protective Envelope into Tight Spaces
A full cage surrounds the propellers for observation and imaging in narrow passages, near-wall areas and obstacle-dense confined spaces. The compact airframe, indoor positioning and multi-angle forward lighting support close-range inspection.
Full-Cage Protection
A cage surrounds the airframe and propellers for near-wall, narrow-passage and obstacle-dense environments.
Compact Airframe
470 × 470 × 370 mm, suitable for relatively tight inspection spaces after safety clearance is confirmed.
Indoor Positioning
LiDAR SLAM and optical-flow sensors provide a positioning and navigation foundation without satellite signals.
Close-Range Lighting
Forward, upper-forward and lower-forward lighting supports observation and imaging in low light.
FOR TUNNELS & LARGE INDOOR SPACES
I7: Cover Longer Routes with Endurance, Payload Capacity and Multi-Directional Observation
Its larger platform and 39-minute no-load endurance make I7 suitable for longer routes or open spaces such as metro tunnels, large plants and warehouses. Folding construction, upper/lower gimbal mounting and multi-directional lighting support field configuration.
Long-Endurance Platform
Maximum no-load endurance of 39 minutes for longer routes and larger coverage.
Payload Expansion
Maximum payload of 1.5 kg with upper and lower gimbal mounting for different viewing directions.
Folding and Protection
Foldable arms and propellers, with optional propeller guards for transport and field protection.
Multi-Directional Lighting
Upper, lower, forward and upper-oblique lighting configurations for tunnels and large low-light spaces.
I7 / LONG ENDURANCEFrom Tight Near-Wall Areas to Tunnels and Large Spaces
Tight, Obstacle-Dense Spaces
Equipment interlayers, narrow passages and partially enclosed structures where airframe envelope and minor-contact risk must be controlled.

Large Plants and Open Indoor Spaces
Large plants, warehouses and wide-span indoor spaces suited to longer periodic inspection sorties.

Six Steps from Site-Boundary Confirmation to Inspection Archiving
Aircraft selection, payload configuration, positioning validation and safety strategy must be completed as a whole; no single parameter replaces field validation.
Site Survey
Confirm passage dimensions, obstacles, lighting, communication, personnel activity and restricted areas.
Aircraft and Payload
Select I5 or I7 and camera/lighting configuration based on space, endurance, payload and protection requirements.
Map and Route
Build a site map and plan/review routes, waypoints and mission actions in ARP.
Preflight Check
Check batteries, propellers/protection, sensors, payload, communication and emergency plans.
Execution Monitoring
Use AGS to view positioning, imagery, mission, battery and alerts, pausing or taking over when necessary.
Result Archiving
Organize imagery, mission records and exceptions for platform review and reporting.

I5 and I7 Key Specifications and Selection Boundaries
Parameters are based on current materials. Endurance, payload, wind resistance, video transmission, hover accuracy and protection depend on payload, environment, battery, communication and test conditions and are subject to confirmed specifications and delivery configuration.

Confirm Four Safety Boundaries before Entering Confined Spaces
No Satellite Signal
LiDAR SLAM and optical flow form the positioning basis; actual performance depends on structural texture, dust, lighting, reflection and motion.
Airframe Safety Clearance
Cages or propeller guards do not replace passage-clearance checks; allow for attitude changes, airflow disturbance and positioning error.
Communication and Link-Loss Strategy
Validate link coverage in obstructed and long-range spaces and configure hover, return, landing or manual intervention by project.
Environmental Applicability
An IP rating does not indicate explosion protection or suitability for all dusty, corrosive or flammable environments; special locations require separate compliance confirmation.
