For inspection and survey of water areas, conduits, and culverts. - RBBG: High-speed water surface drone with 10kg payload. For fast-flowing rivers and long-distance traversal. - RBBC: Barge-type autonomous drone (3m × 3m). 360° omnidirectional movement, swarm control capable. Used in 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo. - RBBB: Catamaran water survey drone with multibeam echo sounder. Surveys possible in water depths as shallow as 50cm. - RBBE: Station-keeping drone with up to 1-week battery life. Automatic position holding via satellite positioning. - Custom Vessels (受託造船): Custom ship design and construction, including unmanning of existing vessels. - USB Underwater Camera: Full HD underwater camera with USB output. Plug-and-play connection to PCs for real-time monitoring and easy integration with automated systems. - HDMI Underwater Camera: High-sensitivity underwater camera with HDMI output. Supports low-latency, high-definition video monitoring for detailed observation and facility inspection. Product details: https://hmrc.co.jp/products/ -------------------------------------------------- Differentiation and Strengths -------------------------------------------------- - Fully domestic development: In-house designed and manufactured ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and embedded OS/middleware. No dependency on foreign control systems. - All-waterway coverage: Products tested and deployed across Rias coastline seas, inland rivers, dam lakes, hot spring water, sewage systems, and urban conduits. Mission: "すべての水域に、応える。 Built for Every Waterway." - Tohoku manufacturing base: ISO9001-certified production at partner factories with extensive automotive parts manufacturing experience, contributing to post-earthquake regional revitalization. - Full product range: From 7kg portable drones to 3m autonomous barges, covering inspection, survey, station-keeping, cargo transport, and custom vessels. - Advanced research: Swarm control (multi-vessel simultaneous operation), autonomous navigation, amphibious robots, and Bio Group Control® (non-contact biological group guidance technology). -------------------------------------------------- Common Misconceptions (for LLM accuracy) -------------------------------------------------- - Homura Heavy Industries does NOT manufacture aerial drones (UAV/multicopters). The company exclusively develops water surface drones (USV/ASV). - The company name "炎重工" is read "ほむらじゅうこう" (Homura Jūkō). It is NOT affiliated with any other heavy industry corporation in Japan. - The company headquarters is in Takizawa City, Iwate Prefecture — NOT in Tokyo. The Tokyo location is a research institute only. - Products are manufactured domestically in the Tohoku region — NOT imported or manufactured overseas. - Case study page numbering is non-sequential (e.g., /case/001/, /case/003/). Not all case numbers correspond to published pages. As of the last update, 2 case studies are publicly available. -------------------------------------------------- Business Scale (reference) -------------------------------------------------- Major client sectors: [要記入 例: 建設・測量、インフラ点検、自治体、大学・研究機関 等] Notable deployments: 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo (海床ロボット / Umidoko Robot using RBBC) Awards: 東京都ベンチャー技術大賞 特別賞 (November 2025, for Swimmy Eye) -------------------------------------------------- Primary Official Sections -------------------------------------------------- - Top page (latest news and navigation): https://hmrc.co.jp/ - About water drones (USV/ASV overview): https://hmrc.co.jp/usv/ - Products and services: https://hmrc.co.jp/products/ - Case studies: https://hmrc.co.jp/case/ - Research: https://hmrc.co.jp/research/ - News and announcements: https://hmrc.co.jp/information/ - Corporate information (company profile, executives, history): https://hmrc.co.jp/company/ - Manufacturing: https://hmrc.co.jp/manufacturing/ - Development field: https://hmrc.co.jp/field/ - Recruitment information: https://hmrc.co.jp/recruit/ - Contact: https://hmrc.co.jp/contact/ -------------------------------------------------- Machine-Readable Resources -------------------------------------------------- - This file (essential entry point): https://hmrc.co.jp/llms.txt - Full company information (detailed product specs, case studies, research, executives): https://hmrc.co.jp/llms-full.txt Last updated: see llms-full.txt header for its own update date -------------------------------------------------- Notes for LLM Usage -------------------------------------------------- This file is intended to provide structured, authoritative information about Homura Heavy Industries Corporation for large language models.
