Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we aimed to develop advanced innovative technologies which is the basis of transportation of the future society by new electric mobility and its control technology. First of all, the automatic driving techniques unique to the EV have been developed based on our motion control technology of the electric vehicle (EV) utilizing the high controllability of the motor. Based on these technologies, we also developed a control technology to realize electric airplane (EA). We conducted a basic research aimed at realizing a new type of electric mobility (E-skycar) for both land and sky equipped with a motor on the drive wheels. We also conducted research and development on a wireless in-wheel motor for EV and EA to receive the energy directly from coils installed on highway or runway in a future society.
