Research Activities
This project aims to develop core technologies of interactive drone content for real industrial use including entertainment and wildlife symbiosis, through close industry/academia/government cooperation.
It is expected to support continuous development of drone technologies through this innovation, and produce new industry and services in response to societal needs.
Research topics
The following are current research projects:
(1) Development of intuitive user interface for a drone pilot and techniques for video sharing and distribution. We propose Third-Person Piloting, a novel drone manipulation interface that increases situational awareness using an interactive third-person perspective from a second, spatially coupleddrone.

(2) Development of crow-type-drone to communicate with crows.
