Title:

Energy modeling and optimization for delivery quadcopters

Abstract:

Drones have now become popular for a personal hobby, and in near future they will be widely used for door-to-door delivery and other business purposes. However, if a drone runs out of battery during a flight, it may cause a serious accident. This talk describes energy modeling and energy-efficient flight planning for delivery quadcopters.

Bio:

Professor Tomiyama received his B.E., M.E. and D.E. degrees in computer science from Kyushu University in 1994, 1996 and 1999, respectively. From 1999 to 2001, he was a visiting postdoctoral researcher with the Center of Embedded Computer Systems, University of California, Irvine. From 2001 to 2003, he was a researcher at Institute of Systems & Information Technologies/KYUSHU. In 2003, he joined the Graduate School of Information Science, Nagoya University as an assistant professor, and became an associate professor in 2004. In 2010, he moved to the College of Science and Engineering, Ritsumeikan University as a full professor. His current research focuses are on design methodologies for embedded systems and cyber-physical systems. He was General Co-Chair of MPSoC 2010 and General Chair of MPSoC 2013.
