Starting with the Fukushima Robot Test Field, the Hamadori Robot Demonstration Zone actively seeks research, development, and demonstration experiments of robots and drones with potential for use in disaster response, logistics, inspection of infrastructure, and other fields.

The Fukushima Robot Test field is a development and demonstration center unlike anything else in the world for land, sea, and air robots that consists of four areas. This facility serves as the core of the robotics industry in the Hamadori area.

Stretching roughly 1,000 meters east-to-west and 500 meters north-to-south in the Minami City Reconstruction Industrial Park, this test field consists of the Unmanned Aircraft Area, the Infrastructure Inspection and Disaster Response Robot Area, the Underwater and Maritime Robot Area, and the Development Base Area, as well as a runway for long-distance flight within the Namie Town Tanashio Industrial Park.
Everyone is welcome to use the facilities; please contact the test field if you are interested.

The largest airspace in the nation for unmanned aircraft, complete with airspace, a runway, and safety nets, offering a replete environment for all kinds of tests, from basic flight to collision avoidance, emergency landings, falling, long-distance flight, and more, to promote the practical use of drones. ➔ Unmanned Aircraft Area

The only test field in the nation equipped for demonstration experiments on the inspection of infrastructure and disaster response by robots. This area is capable of replicating nearly any foreseeable disaster or deterioration process in structures such as tunnels, bridges, plants, cities, roads, and more. ➔ Infrastructure Inspection and Disaster Response Robot Area

The only test field in the nation equipped for demonstration experiments on underwater infrastructure inspection and disaster response by robots. This area is capable of replicating dams, rivers, flooded cities, ports, and more. ➔ Underwater and Maritime Robot Area

The laboratories, located in the Research Tower that serves as the heart of the Fukushima Robot Test Field, are home to 17 universities and corporations from across the nation (as of November 2022).

The Minamisoma Technical Support Center at Fukushima High Tech Plaza, a facility established by Fukushima Prefecture within the Research Tower, provides tailored support for companies that includes the use of facilities (processing equipment, analysis instruments, etc.), testing, analysis, and more. ➔ Development Base Area

A runway (400 meters) for long-range flight tests has been built within the Namie Town Tanashio Industrial Park.
In contrast to the north-south orientation of the Minamisoma Runway (500 meters), the Namie Runway, located roughly 13 kilometers away, runs east-to-west, making it possible to fly over the ocean immediately after takeoff. ➔ Namie Runway at Fukushima Robot Test Field
