Future application areas

If a drone can be equipped with location information or communicate via GPS, allowing it to constantly recognize its own location and the location of the explosion-proof area, and automatically fly while avoiding intrusion into the explosion-proof area, it would eliminate the need for drone piloting and also help prevent human error associated with piloting.
Furthermore, since entering the explosion-proof zone significantly increases the risk of accidents, it is essential to minimize errors in location information as much as possible.

The following video was created to simulate drone flight at a hazardous materials facility. When the drone (disc) enters within 1 meter of the explosion-proof zone, it turns orange. The idea is to have an automatic flight function that prevents the drone from turning orange.

When using non-explosion-proof portable devices such as smartphones and tablets in the field, it is necessary to clearly indicate the explosion-proof area with signs or other means. However, in practice, this is time-consuming and troublesome, so finding a solution remains a challenge.
Therefore, the problem can be solved by equipping the mobile device with a function that uses the three-dimensional location information of the explosion-proof area and the GPS function of the mobile device to issue an alert to prevent workers from inadvertently entering the explosion-proof area during on-site work.
Furthermore, as with the above, it is necessary to minimize the error in location information as much as possible.

The following video illustrates what happens if a person accidentally enters an explosion-proof zone; the person turns orange when they enter within 1 meter of the zone. The idea is to set up a system that triggers an alert on your mobile device if you enter a certain range, similar to this scenario.
