Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Drone research is a field that is attracting research attention from countries around the world, and Japan is no exception. Japan, which is impacted by various natural disasters, including earthquakes, is currently more active in disaster-related drone research than any other country. In addition, the Japanese Government's growth strategy includes drone technology as an important means of transportation and defines it as a research field that will lead Japan into the future of. This Special Issue is a compilation of Japan's cutting-edge drone research, which readers will be free to enjoy.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Drones is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Night security is known for its long hours and heavy tasks. In Japan, a labor shortage of security guards has become an issue in recent years. To solve these problems, an increasing number of robotic security methods are being used. However, several problems exist with existing security robots. For example, wheeled robots traveling on the ground have difficulty in dealing with obstacles such as steps, while most drones are only for monitoring and do not have a function to help people. In this study, an aerial ubiquitous display (AUD) night security drone has been developed to solve the problems of existing security robots. The AUD is equipped with an infrared camera and a projector to detect human behavior at night and present information to people in need. In this paper, an experiment was conducted with the AUD to evaluate whether it can provide adequate nighttime security. In the experiment, real-time monitoring and information projection from the air were achieved. In addition, new security methods using the AUD were shown to be effective. Replacing security guards with the AUD to provide security at night will improve labor shortages in the future, and better security methods will be developed. Full article
