Development of Next-Generation Flight Controllers by WHDC Acrodea and Mazex for Enhanced Drone Stability and Precision

The Future of Drone Technology in Japan

WHDC Acrodea, a subsidiary of THE WHY HOW DO COMPANY, has embarked on a groundbreaking collaboration with Mazex, a prominent player in the industrial drone market, to develop next-generation flight controllers. This innovative project aims to leverage advanced AI technologies to dramatically enhance the precision and stability of drones, particularly for applications in agriculture, forestry, and disaster response within Japan.

Background of Development: Addressing Domestic Needs

As Japan faces significant challenges such as an aging population, declining birth rates, and frequent natural disasters, the demand for reliable domestic drones has surged. Traditional high-cost, international drone solutions often struggle to meet the unique requirements of Japan's complex environment. Consequently, a rise in the need for domestic drone technology that can address local challenges is anticipated.

Multi-rotor drones, which are increasingly utilized in various sectors, require complex control systems that depend on gyroscopic and acceleration sensors alongside high-precision RTK-GPS systems. However, the intricate designs and elevated costs of these components limit the types of drones that can be equipped with them, making the development of a domestically manufactured flight controller critically important. Moreover, as reliance on foreign products introduces risks related to quality, security, and accessibility during emergencies, creating a Japan-made flight controller becomes essential.

Overview of Development

The collaboration between WHDC Acrodea and Mazex focuses on several key areas in developing the next-generation flight controller:

- Enhancing Reliability and Cost-Effectiveness: By manufacturing flight controllers domestically, both companies aim to stabilize the supply chain and improve long-term cost competitiveness.

- Miniaturization for Versatility: Utilizing cutting-edge IMU sensors and processing units will allow for the miniaturization and lightweight design of the flight controller, facilitating its installation on drones of various sizes.

- Artificial Intelligence Implementation: The introduction of deep learning and advanced AI techniques will enhance posture and speed control based on sensor data. This integration promises greater stability against sudden disturbances, promoting precision in operational tasks.

- High Adaptability to Various Applications: Aiming to create a flight controller with high expansibility, it will cater to the diverse needs of industries like agriculture, forestry, and disaster management.

Future Prospects

By highlighting their respective strengths, WHDC Acrodea and Mazex are committed to accelerating the practical implementation of this promising technology. The successful development of a high-performance, reliable domestic drone controller is expected to foster the adoption of domestic drones, thereby addressing various industrial challenges.
