Expo 2026: Space One Showcases Advanced Underwater Inspection Technologies

Space One at the International Drone Expo 2026

Space One Inc. is set to exhibit at the "Maintenance Resilience Tokyo 2026" within the "12th International Drone Expo" to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from July 15 to 17, 2026. This year's exhibition will feature a comprehensive showcase of cutting-edge underwater drones and the newly introduced multi-beam sonar technology, DEEPULSE.

Exhibition Highlights

During this exhibit, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the capabilities of CHASING underwater drones, DeepTrekker underwater drones, and the PIPETREKKER pipeline inspection crawler. These advanced tools are designed to address the challenges associated with inspecting submerged infrastructure, pipelines, and other hard-to-reach areas. Space One aims to present practical applications for remote inspection, video documentation, sonar visualization, and overall equipment deployment and operations tailored to specific site requirements.

The Need for Innovative Inspection Solutions

As aging infrastructure becomes increasingly critical to maintain and manage, effective inspection techniques for underwater and internal pipeline areas are in high demand. Traditional visual checks and manual operations present significant challenges at locations such as:

- Underwater structures in ports, wharfs, and bridge supports
- Surveys of dams, rivers, and reservoir facilities
- Inspections of sewer systems, rainwater pipelines, and facility conduits
- Examination of ship propellers, water intake points, and turbine equipment
- Investigations in murky waters, dark chambers, and narrow environments where camera imagery is insufficient

Space One's booth will demonstrate an integrated approach by combining underwater drones, pipeline inspection crawlers, and multi-beam sonar to propose tailored inspection methods suitable for a variety of site conditions.

Featured Products

CHASING Underwater Drones

Space One will showcase the M2 series of CHASING underwater drones, ranging from compact models for personal use to professional-grade variants. These drones are favored both domestically and internationally, providing real-time underwater footage, static image, and video recording capabilities. They are designed for organizations looking to initiate underwater inspections or integrate drones into their existing inspection operations.

DeepTrekker Underwater Drones

The exhibit will also include the impressive DeepTrekker drones, renowned for their versatility and robustness. These Canadian-made underwater drones are utilized in various applications worldwide, supporting users from governmental agencies to those in secure industries like nuclear power plants. DeepTrekker's products are engineered for high performance, allowing integration with sonar and other sensors for advanced underwater research.

Pipeline Inspection Crawler PIPETREKKER

The PIPETREKKER crawler, developed by DeepTrekker, specializes in inspecting sewers, rainwater pipes, and other confined spaces. Its compact and agile design makes it perfect for environments where traditional large equipment poses logistical challenges.

New Multi-Beam Sonar DEEPULSE

DEEPULSE is Space One's latest multi-beam sonar technology aiding in underwater inspections where visibility is compromised. This sonar solution helps identify and visualize underwater infrastructure, such as ports, bridge supports, dams, and underwater cables, enhancing the inspection capabilities using a combination of sonar and camera technologies.

Comprehensive Support Beyond Equipment

Space One goes beyond selling underwater drones and inspection robots; they also provide robust operational support based on years of experience at physical sites. Their services include assisting with equipment selection prior to deployment, conducting demonstrations, providing operation training, and offering ongoing support after the purchase.

Visitors are encouraged to consult with dedicated staff at Space One's booth who can address various concerns, such as selecting the right equipment for specific environments, understanding proper utilization for underwater inspections, or exploring options for sonar-assisted checks.
