Hotaru: Intuitive Manipulation Techniques for Projected Displays of Mobile Devices
We have developed near future technologies in this project: a mobile device with a projector and intuitive manipulation techniques by using a video camera mounted on the device. The proposed system called Hotaru (a firefly, in English) allows users to annotate, rotate or transfer files between multiple devices by touching their projected displays with fingers.

Cooperative Localization for Multiple Flying Robots
We propose a novel cooperative localization algorithm for indoor flying robots. Due to the limited payload of a flying robot, it is difficult to use multiple sensors for estimating its accurate location. Therefore, estimating the location by using a sensor mountable on a flying robot is error prone.Our approach solves this problem by using multiple flying robots.
