Design and development
The R10 was announced alongside the Skydio F10 in September 2025.[1][2] Designed to be an indoor counterpart to the Skydio X10 for first responders, the R10 has a compact composite frame with built-in propeller guards, measuring 10 in × 10 in (25 cm × 25 cm) in length and width and weighing 1.7 lb (0.77 kg).[1][3][4] The drone is equipped with a 12.5-megapixel camera with a 1" sensor.[5] The R10 has a NightSense zero-light obstacle avoidance system and a forward visual navigation system utilizing two Samsung 1/2.8" 32MP CMOS sensors, and is designed to be operated with minimal training.[3][5][6] The drone also has a two-way audio system with a built-in 82 dB speaker for crisis negotiation.[7][8] The R10 is powered by a 6000 mAh battery, giving the drone a flight time of 20 minutes.[5] It is also capable of perching for up to three hours.[5][8] The R10 has a "turtle mode" feature, which flips the drone upright in the event it lands inverted.[9]
