Problem
Traditional drones often struggle to operate safely and effectively in indoor, confined, and GPS-denied environments due to their size, exposed propellers, and reliance on GPS for navigation. This limits their utility for inspections, situational awareness, and data capture in complex or hazardous indoor spaces.
Solution
Cleo Robotics addresses these challenges with the Dronut X1 Pro, a compact, portable UAV designed for safe and reliable operation in challenging indoor environments. The Dronut utilizes a unique, patented airframe with enclosed propellers, enabling it to navigate tight spaces and operate in close proximity to people and sensitive equipment without risk of collision. Equipped with an AI engine, 3D LiDAR, and HD streaming capabilities, the Dronut can autonomously sense its surroundings, avoid obstacles, and capture high-quality data in GPS-denied environments. This enables safer and more efficient inspections, improved situational awareness, and enhanced data capture in industries such as defense, manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes professionals in defense, manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure who require a safe, reliable, and easily deployable UAV for indoor inspections, situational awareness, and data capture in confined or hazardous environments.
