10th to 14th December
A collision avoidance system is installed in a medium size unmanned aerial vehicle at “Fukushima Robot Test Field”
We conducted the detection performance test for the first time in the world.
Collision avoidance test
“Pre-designed route” is set
This year: Medium-sized drones carry out tests to fly avoiding manned helicopters (in the air). Successful .
Next year: Medium drone plans to test autonomously avoid collision avoiding manned helicopter (in flight).
Unmanned aerial vehicle
Equipped with quasi-zenith satellite system compatible receiver
Detect object properly (manned helicopter) during flight
We confirmed the normal operation of the collision avoidance system.
