A soft propeller developed based on dragonfly wings (right) and a propeller for ordinary drones.
Chiba University is embarking on the development of a next-generation drone (flying robot) modeled on living organisms. It will be modeled after birds and insects, and will fly in response to the changing natural environment. He envisions a soft structure like the wings and body of an organism. They are researching what kind of materials to use and how to process them. In addition to sensing technologies such as force and vision sensors, they are also researching technologies for computer processing of various data in real time and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to make the drone intelligent. We will involve students in joint research projects with companies and other organizations to develop human resources who can not only conduct research but also be immediately effective in the field. He said, "We need to create win-win relationships (with our partners) so that we can move on. Everything is a result," he said.
