Operations
Approvals: Indoor and confined spaces, outside FAA airspace rules
Autonomy: Collision-tolerant cage; onboard lidar builds a 3D map in flight; operator-flown out of sight indoors.
Primary use: Boilers, tanks, sewers, mine stopes and cement kilns.
Operators and customers: Mining, power-generation and cement operators; inspection service firms.

In context
Where it fits
Listed in Inspection Drones. Drones are compared on payload against range and endurance, how far the operation runs without people on site (docks, remote operations centers, detect-and-avoid), which approvals let it fly beyond visual line of sight, and who actually flies it.
