Makerfire UTMSYS XD450-ID Research Drone Indoor Version

Makerfire UTMSYS XD450-ID Research Drone – Indoor Version The Makerfire UTMSYS XD450-ID is a high-performance modular research drone platform designed for indoor UAV research, university teaching, algorithm development, SLAM mapping, autonomous navigation, and GPS-denied flight testing. Powered by the USX52 Edge Computing Flight Controller with 10 TOPS AI computing power, the XD450-ID integrates UWB positioning, optical flow positioning, LiDAR, depth vision, image/data transmission, and modular payload expansion. It provides a stable and open hardware platform for researchers, developers, and educational institutions working on advanced indoor drone applications.

Key Features GPS-Free Indoor Positioning The XD450-ID is built for indoor environments where GPS signals are unavailable or unreliable. It combines multiple positioning and perception modules, including: UWB indoor positioningOptical flow positioningMID-360 LiDARRealSense D435i depth camera This multi-sensor fusion system enables stable hovering, accurate positioning, and autonomous indoor flight in laboratories, warehouses, classrooms, stadiums, and test fields. 10 TOPS Edge AI Computing Power At the core of the platform is the USX52 edge computing flight controller, delivering 10 TOPS of AI computing power for onboard algorithm processing.

It supports advanced research applications such as: SLAM mappingAI object detectionAutonomous obstacle avoidancePath planningMachine visionMulti-sensor fusionIndoor autonomous navigationMulti-drone collaboration By processing data locally, the drone reduces latency and provides a stronger foundation for real-time algorithm development. Multi-Dimensional Environmental Perception With the optional or integrated MID-360 LiDAR and RealSense D435i depth camera, the XD450-ID can support 3D environment reconstruction, obstacle detection, depth perception, and indoor mapping. This makes it ideal for research projects involving: 3D modelingIndoor SLAMDynamic obstacle avoidanceScene reconstructionRobotics perceptionAutonomous navigation verification Full Protective Frame for Indoor Safety The XD450-ID features a full-body protective ring and dedicated radar protection structure, helping reduce collision risk during indoor testing.

This safety-focused design makes it suitable for close-range experimental environments, teaching demonstrations, laboratory training, and multi-person research scenarios. Stable Image and Data Transmission The drone uses the USL30 image/data transmission link to support reliable transmission of HD video, sensor data, and flight control data. Combined with the 3-axis stabilized single-camera gimbal, it provides stable image capture and real-time observation during indoor flight experiments.

Open Platform for Secondary Development The XD450-ID provides rich hardware and software expansion interfaces, making it easy to integrate custom payloads, sensors, and research modules.
