Autonomous Control Systems Laboratory (ACSL) 自律制御系统研究所
Japanese industrial drone manufacturer spun out of Chiba University, producing autonomous UAVs for inspection, logistics, and disaster response applications.
Autonomous Control Systems Laboratory (ACSL), founded in November 2013 as a spin-off from Chiba University's laboratory of Professor Kenzo Nonami, manufactures and sells industrial drones in Japan and internationally. The company's product lineup includes the SOTEN small aerial photography drone featuring swappable camera systems and LTE-enabled beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations, and the PF2-AE inspection drone with 360-degree collision avoidance. ACSL specializes in autonomous flight technology including SLAM-based navigation for GPS-denied environments.
Its drones serve infrastructure inspection, logistics, delivery, and disaster prevention applications. ACSL is publicly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market and has raised over $25 million in funding from investors including UTEC and Rakuten Capital.
