By combining vision-based navigation with robotic battery swapping, the system enables nonstop missions without charging delays, GPS dependency, or manual intervention.

A GPS-free drone system engineered for continuous flight, real-time AI navigation, and hands-free energy management

Dolunts® is a Texas-based engineering company, has launched its third-generation indoor drone platform, which is built to deliver continuous, fully autonomous operations in logistics, fulfillment, and industrial environments. By combining vision-based navigation with robotic battery swapping, the system enables nonstop missions without charging delays, GPS dependency, or manual intervention.

"We wanted a drone that matches the rhythm of modern operations," says the Dolunts® team. "It doesn't stop to catch its breath.. It lands, swaps, and relaunches—all in 30 seconds. And it sees the environment in real time, just like a human would."

Engineered for True Indoor Autonomy
At the core of the Dolunts® system is a modular, GPS-free navigation stack using stereo vision, visual-inertial odometry (VIO), IMU data, and optical flow. This allows precise, collision-aware flight in high-density indoor environments such as warehouses, factories, and logistics hubs.
The drone's onboard NVIDIA Jetson™ module handles real-time visual processing, anomaly detection, and route optimization—without relying on cloud connectivity.
What sets Dolunts® apart is its smart docking station:
● Battery swap in 30 seconds via a robotic arm

● No human involvement in recharging or maintenance

● Continuous drone rotation for uninterrupted mission coverage

As a result, operations teams can deploy aerial monitoring, inspection, or security patrols that run 24/7, scaling without adding headcount or halting for recharge cycles.

Practical Applications
The Dolunts® platform is currently in pilot with early adopters across the logistics and industrial sector, supporting:
● Inventory validation and bin-level mapping in high-SKU environments

● Pick/pack station oversight to monitor SLA compliance

● Inbound/outbound zone scanning for accuracy and flow control

● Facility safety audits for compliance and predictive maintenance

● Indoor security patrols in large warehouses and restricted zones

Designed from the ground up for indoor use, the system fits environments where traditional drones, AGVs, or static cameras fall short—especially where space is tight, visibility is limited, and reliability is critical.
