Web Magazine "Possible Future: Case #UTokyo-IIS" is now available online.
This web magazine introduces the various "possible futures" originating from UTokyo-IIS.
Associate Professor Yusuke Yokota of the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, achieved a world first this year by successfully measuring the position of the seabed with centimeter-level precision using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed in collaboration with HAMA, Inc., which also served as a joint research partner. The following discussion gives some insight into how Kaneda and Suzuki at HAMA, together with Yokota, succeeded at these observations, and also reveals the significance and appeal of industry-academia collaboration.
