Mobility One Selected for the 2026 Lotte E&C × Seoul Startup Hub Seongsu Open Innovation Program to Demonstrate Multi-Drone Autonomous Indoor Inspection Software

Mobility One, a developer of integrated unmanned mobility operation platforms, announced that it has been selected for the 2026 Lotte Engineering & Construction × Seoul Startup Hub Seongsu Open Innovation Program on June 26. As part of the program, the company will collaborate with Lotte E&C to conduct a proof-of-concept (PoC) for "Mission Software for Indoor Multi-Drone Autonomous Facility Inspection."

The demonstration aims to validate next-generation smart construction technology that enables safer and more efficient indoor facility inspections. At the core of the project is M1UCS (Mobility One Unified Control System) Indoor/SLAM Edition, Mobility One's proprietary integrated control platform for heterogeneous drones and robots.

Conventional indoor drone inspections typically rely on manual piloting or the operation of a single drone. In contrast, this project will demonstrate the simultaneous operation of multiple autonomous drones equipped with LiDAR and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technologies, enabling faster, safer, and more efficient inspections of large indoor environments.

A key strength of M1UCS is its ability to integrate and manage drones from different manufacturers through a single unified platform. The system provides centralized mission planning, real-time fleet monitoring, and coordinated multi-drone operations, making it highly suitable for digital transformation (DX) initiatives and smart safety management across construction sites.

During the demonstration, Mobility One will validate the stability of autonomous indoor navigation, coordinated multi-drone operations, and efficient collection and management of inspection data. The project is expected to demonstrate significant improvements in both operational efficiency and workplace safety compared to conventional inspection methods.

Lotte E&C has also indicated that, should the demonstration achieve the expected performance, it plans to expand the adoption of the technology across a wide range of construction sites. This would further open opportunities for M1UCS to be deployed in various indoor inspection applications, including industrial facilities, plants, underground structures, and logistics centers.

"Indoor autonomous flight is one of the most technically challenging areas because GPS signals are unavailable," said Hyunwook Ryu, CEO of Mobility One. "Through this collaboration with Lotte E&C, we aim to validate the performance of M1UCS for autonomous indoor flight and integrated fleet management, while establishing the platform as a key enabler of digital innovation in smart construction and facility management."

Mobility One develops M1UCS (Mobility One Unified Control System), an integrated platform that enables unified operation of heterogeneous unmanned systems—including drones (UAVs), ground robots (UGVs), and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). The company continues to expand its business across defense, smart cities, industrial safety, facility management, and disaster response through its advanced autonomous operation technologies.
