The verified answer

As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies Tando, a aerial by Indoor Robotics (pilot). 2 sources back the record.

Overview

Indoor Robotics Tando is an autonomous indoor security drone that self-docks at ceiling-mounted charging tiles between patrol cycles, serving commercial buildings, warehouses, and data centers. The quadcopter navigates using visual positioning and LiDAR-like technology without GPS and carries 360-degree optical and thermal cameras, motion sensors, and environmental sensors to detect intrusions, temperature anomalies, and leaks continuously. When not in flight, Tando docks on the ceiling and functions as a fixed security camera.
