The 4th International Symposium on Innovative Aerial/Space Flyer Systems

Date: January 14 (Mon) - 15 (Tue), 2008
Place: Yayoi Auditorium Ichijo Hall, The University of Tokyo

Preface
We would like to welcome you to the 4th International Symposium on Innovative Aerial/Space Flyer Systems. This symposium is held as one of International Symposium Series on the 21st Century COE program of Mechanical Systems Innovation. This COE (Center of Excellence) program was established in 2003 as a five-year program under the support of the Japanese Government. The program consists of three major projects on energy innovation, biomedical innovation, and hyper modeling and simulation. This 4th Symposium is the last one within the framework of the present COE program.
In addition, an interdisciplinary project on "Innovation Aerial Robot" was established early in 2004 by the faculty members and graduate students of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Department of Environmental and Ocean Engineering, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. A part of this symposium has been organized by the researchers participating in this "Innovation Aerial Robot Project".
We are also organizing a "Space Energy Project" as a part of sub-projects within our COE "Energy Innovation Project". Effective energy utilization using space systems is being discussed. Some international collaboration schemes are being conducted in this new exciting research field.
One of the main issues treated in this symposium is: MAV (miniature air vehicle) and UAV (unmanned air vehicle). As all of you may know already, there exists much interest on MAV and UAV recently. For example, MAV and UAV can be used as a useful tool for disaster observation and rescue operation. Excellent speakers were invited today from over the world. In addition, some recent MAV/UAV activities at the University of Tokyo and other partners will be presented by professors and graduate students. The other issue treated here is space energy utilization system. This covers effective energy use in satellite and space structures, micro-turbine generators, and other micro energy conversion methods.
I hope this COE symposium will provide an excellent opportunity for the participants to exchange some new ideas and make fruitful discussion on Innovative Aerial/Space Flyer Systems.
We sincerely thank Professors T. Nagashima, K. Rinoie, S. Suzuki, S. Nakasuka, and Ms. T. Hirano for numerous contributions to the success of this symposium.
