DOCOMO Develops Safe, Blade-free Drone Propelled with Ultrasonic Vibrations

JCN Newswire (English)
NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced that it has developed a blimp-style
drone that is propelled safely through the air with ultrasonic
vibrations, offering promising applications in homes, concert halls
and other indoor spaces.
Unlike conventional drones that require propellers and sometimes
wings, DOCOMO's propellerless and wingless drone blimp simply
requires helium to remain airborne. Moreover, it can travel
forward, backward or up/down propelled via ultrasonic vibrations
generated by several small modules to move air.
Conventional drones can cause serious injury or damage if their
propellers or wings strike people or objects. DOCOMO's drone blimp,
however, simply uses ultrasonic-vibration modules, so coming into
contact with the drone presents no danger.
In the near future, DOCOMO will deploy its drone blimp at concert
halls and other indoor events for entertainment, information and
advertising. It also will be possible to use projection mapping to
display images and videos on the drone's surfaces. In addition, the
drone can be fitted with tiny cameras for monitoring and security
solutions.
DOCOMO presented the drone's development story at The ACM CHI
Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2019), a
well-known academic conference focusing on human-computer
interaction, held in the United Kingdom.
The drone was also exhibited as well as demonstrated at the NTT
booth during Niconico Chokaigi 2019, which was held at the Makuhari
Messe convention complex outside Tokyo from April 27.
Going forward, DOCOMO will continue its development of advanced
drone services, one of the many ways the company will serve society
by leveraging its mobile-network technologies, platform businesses
and other diverse technical assets and expertise.
