Abstract

In order for the Okinawan economy to grow independently, creating new businesses is essential. This will require the cultivation of technologies to form the seeds of those businesses, as well as the training of technicians and researchers.

To promote the creation of new businesses and innovations that are “unique to Okinawa”, the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan set up a cooperative research committee for Okinawa-style robot-embedded/sustainable systems.

We proposed the concept of Okinawa-style robot-embedded systems. To realize this concept, we organized technical meetings and promoted research on this topic. At present, our research is focused on the development of ① integrated drone navigation and autonomous flight systems for aerial inspection and surveillance of infrastructure objects, ② K-Skill, ③ the applications to the agricultural sector of the Internet of Things (IoT), and ④ Okinawa-style applications of renewable energy. Our promotions are presently ongoing.
