Chinese company ventures into autonomous drone system inspection

The application scenarios for drones have been constantly expanding from initial short-time and non-continuous to daily and continuous. Nevertheless, drones still rely on flight  pilots  (for flight control, maintenance and recharging), all of which runs counter to the idea that these flights are totally “unmanned”. The increasingly prominent limitations in technology training, personnel cost and management have become the main factors restricting the expansion of the sector. On  July 12, 2022 , GDU-Tech Co., Ltd. held a new product press conference themed “ Leading the low altitude airspace infrastructure construction” and unveiled the professional S400 quadrotor drone and K01 automatic docking station , the flight platform designed for all scenarios and to  make all scenarios application unmanned to great extent.

Implementation of the “1 + N”  roadmap initiated

GDU announced the initiation of the “1 + N” roadmap at the event, under which the company will develop payloads, software, and systems that can truly solve the core pain points faced by each industry that uses drones. The solutions will be based on actual needs through one general drone platform (the S400 UAV and  K01 automatic docking station ) handling all possible vertical application scenarios (such as power, fire rescue, etc.), making the drone a tool that can solve practical problems.

Six  key advantages of the S400 UAV

GDU’s R&D director,  Xue Yuan , elaborated on the six advantages of S400:

Two highlights of K01 that make the  docking station   and the drone truly “unmanned”

The two highlights of the K01 automated  docking station   are the integrated design with the S400 drone and the snow and freezing rain proof rolling hatch cover, broadening application scenarios. The whole machine meets the protection level of IP54, capable of operating normally from -35°C to +35°C. Equipped with a weather station and internal and external cameras, the application can achieve 24-hour remote real-time monitoring.
