Overview
Skydio X10 is a compact, AI-powered quadcopter drone designed for industrial inspection, public safety surveillance, mapping, and autonomous missions. It features a 45 mph max flight speed, 40-minute flight time, IP55 weather resistance, and swappable modular sensor packages including 64 MP narrow camera, 48 MP telephoto (190mm eq.), 50 MP wide camera, and a Teledyne FLIR Boson+ radiometric thermal camera (640x512, <30 mK sensitivity). The onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin GPU provides 10x more computing power than the previous generation, enabling real-time obstacle avoidance, 360-degree navigation with six custom lenses, and autonomous flight in GPS-denied environments. NightSense mode allows zero-light autonomous operation using IR illumination. The drone weighs under 4.7 pounds, folds to a compact size for backpack transport, and supports optional attachments including parachute, dropper, speaker, spotlight, RTK/PPK, and dual cellular connectivity (Connect Fusion+). It offers multiple control modes: direct controller (up to 7.5 miles), browser-based remote ops, and cellular-connected unlimited range. Data is secured with AES-256 encryption, NDAA compliance, and SOC2 Type II certification. Designed, assembled, and supported in the USA.

- Additional Information
- Product is software (3D Scan), not a robot itself; runs on Skydio drones. Category assigned as 'delivery' per schema guidance for drone-based inspection services, but flagged as software only.,Unique capabilities: adaptive flight plans generated in real-time based on 3D scene understanding; no GPS required; works without crash risk.,Competitive differentiators: 75% faster data capture vs manual drones; 30% lower reinspection rates; sub-millimeter precision; no need for elite pilot skills.,Partnerships: Bentley Systems (preferred photogrammetry), DroneDeploy, RealityCapture, Axon Evidence.com.,Funding/investors: Andreessen Horowitz, Levitate Capital, Next47, IVP, Playground, NVIDIA.,Customer deployments: Sundt Construction (semiconductor facility), NCDOT (bridge/road inspection), Boston Police Department (crime scenes), JIW (bridge inspection in Japan - grew business 70x).,Awards/praise: mentioned in DroneDJ article.,White paper available: 'AI for Inspection White Paper'.,Event launch at U.S. Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL.,Headquarters: Redwood City, CA. All design, assembly, support in U.S.
