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
