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 Jetsonâ„¢ 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.
