Koichi Kato- Flexible propulsion mechanism
Designed with applications for aerial and underwater drones in mind, this provides a noiseless and safe propulsion method without the need for propellers. It supports hybrid operation with fixed and movable wings, aiming for energy efficiency and environmental harmony. - Miniaturizable actuator and motor structure
Developed as the driving unit for the propulsion mechanism mentioned above, it is quiet, vibration-free, and produces strong torque. Two types were devised: one with a flat design and another incorporating a rotational axis.
