- Current Research Theme
- The main topic is to control or design routes of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, Drones) in real space with safety, by blending rows or different kinds of tasks.
I am also interested in 3D space reconstruction by sensors such as images and lidars for implementing unmanned aerial management system (UTM) which combines autonomous route planning by AI and sensor network via cloud system.
Additionally, I am studying robustness, safety and security design for an actual operating system of drones from cloud system.
- Key Topic
- Drone Formation Flight, Cloud Robotics and communication / task optimization, SLAM, 3D reconstruction from aerial image, Drone automatic controll

Main research
- Asteroid Explorer Hayabusa2
-
Many members from the University of Aizu, in particular faculty members from CAIST/ARC-Space, have been involved with Hayabusa 2, the asteroid explorer launched by JAXA in 2014. Our University's members have been conducting research in connection with this project in anticipation of Hayabusa 2's arrival at the asteroid 162173 Ryugu in 2018, to be followed by its return to Earth in 2020. Specifically teams at the University have been engaged in developing observation instruments, which include the near infrared spectrometer installed on Hayabusa 2, and in developing analytic software that will model the shape of the asteroid based on data captured by the probe's observation instruments.

- Project: The Tanpopo cosmic dust collector on the International Space Station
-
It is possible that the cosmic dust floating throughout space contains either actual microorganisms, or the organic compounds that form them. Japan's Tanpopo project is an experiment in astrobiology which will see a special collector attached to the International Space Station that will capture such cosmic dust. The Tanpopo project is being conducted by a number of universities and research institutions including the University of Aizu, and in particular faculty members and student advisees from our CAIST/ARC-Space and Image Processing Course are taking part, along with Student Cooperative Class Project (SCCP) participants. The team is developing software that will pick out cosmic dust particles using image processing based on micrographs from the collector made up of an ultra-low density materials called Silica aerogel. The team is also developing a device that will cut off the collectors that contain the cosmic dust.
