Just power it with compressed air.

  Expending air is not sustainable. Maybe make it magnetic and roll it on the exterior hull.

NASA's Manned Maneuvering Units used compressed nitrogen. But I'm not sure there'd be a huge benefit to having indoor/outdoor capabilities in a single drone. You'd have to cycle the airlock every time it went in or out, and it would be bulkier and less efficient in either mode than a dedicated unit.
