Toyota Tsusho Corporation, along with drone logistics subsidiary Sora-iina Co., has successfully completed a demonstration experiment testing Level 4 flight capabilities for delivering medications to the remote Gotō Islands.
Level 4 flight would allow for home delivery of medications to elderly patients, reducing the difficulty in planning flights and ensuring quick service.
The tests were conducted using the ACSL PF2-CAT3, Japan's first drone authorized for fully autonomous Level 4 BVLOS operation.
The aim is to make the demonstration a regular flight and further demonstrate the potential of drones to assist Japan's aging population and support the medical industry.
