ドローンを用いたクジラ用ロガー装着システムの開発

抄録

Recently, bio-logging science has been conducted all over the world. The bio-logging is a method of observing ecology of animal with a small mounting equipment called a logger. Sperm whale is one of the target. The sperm whale fights against giant squid in the deep sea, but the scene has not been taken yet. Therefore, zoologists want to record the scene. So far the logger has been attached by using a long pole from shipboard. However, this approach requires several skilled operators and includes danger of injury. To tackle the problem, we propose a camera logger attaching system with a drone.
