We are the project of not-for-profit Crisis Mappers Japan, using robotics, drones and mapping to solve humanitarian, environmental and natural disaster challenges. We implement projects, research, promote and exchange knowledge in this field.

Drone technology produces high-resolution aerial imaging which facilitates quick decision making. Through empowering communities to use this new technology, Japan has built resiliency against typhoons, floods, earthquakes and other types of natural disasters hitting the country every year.
