Starting with the Fukushima Robot Test Field and the Hamadori Robot Demonstration Zone, we actively promote and support research and development and demonstration testing of robots and drones expected to be utilized in areas such as disaster response, logistics, and infrastructure inspection.

The Fukushima Robot Test Field is a world-class development and demonstration facility comprising four areas that support field robots for land, sea, and air applications. With this facility at its core, we aim to foster the clustering of robot-related industries in the Hamadori region and beyond.

Within the Minamisoma City Reconstruction Industrial Park (approximately 1,000 m east–west and 500 m north–south), we have established the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Area, Infrastructure Inspection and Disaster Response Area, Underwater and Surface Robot Area, and Development Base Area. In addition, a runway for long-distance flight testing has been established in the Namie Town Tanashio Industrial Park.
These facilities are available for public and corporate use. Please feel free to contact us.

We support the practical application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by providing an environment where a wide range of tests—from basic flight to collision avoidance, emergency landings, drops, and long-distance flights—can be conducted in Japan’s largest flight airspace, runway, and airfield with buffer netting designed for UAVs.
➔ Fukushima Robot Test Field – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Area

This is Japan’s only testing ground developed for demonstration testing of infrastructure inspection and disaster response by robots. Within structures such as tunnels, bridges, plants, urban areas, and roads, the area can reproduce nearly all anticipated disaster environments and deterioration conditions.
➔Fukushima Robot Test Field – Infrastructure Inspection and Disaster Response Area

This is Japan’s only testing ground developed for demonstration testing of underwater infrastructure inspection and disaster response by robots. The area can reproduce conditions that occur in underwater environments such as dams, rivers, submerged urban areas, and ports.

As of the end of July 2025, 16 universities and companies from across Japan are located in the laboratories of the research building, which serves as the core of the Fukushima Robot Test Field.

In addition, the Fukushima Prefecture High-Tech Plaza Minamisoma Technical Support Center, a prefectural facility located within the research building, provides close support to companies through technical consultation, equipment use (processing and analytical equipment, etc.), and testing and analysis.

A runway (400 m) for long-distance flight testing has been established in the Namie Town Tanashio Industrial Park.
While the Minamisoma Runway (500 m) is oriented north–south, the Namie Runway—located approximately 13 km away—is oriented east–west and is characterized by the ability to fly out over the sea immediately after takeoff.
