Tohasen Robotics to Host Demonstration Event for Methane Gas Detection and Mapping Using Drones: "Visualizing Invisible Gas"

Tohasen Robotics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hachioji City, Tokyo / engaged in drone and robot introduction support) will host a demonstration event for methane gas (CH4) detection and visualization technology utilizing drones at the T-MIB Drone Field in Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture, on Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

At this event, with the cooperation of Airin, an advanced manufacturer from Singapore, we will showcase gas detection and environmental monitoring technologies using industrial drones and robots in a practical demonstration format, presenting the potential for new solutions in the disaster prevention, infrastructure, and energy fields.

## Background
In recent years, the importance of managing methane (CH4) emissions, a greenhouse gas, and the early detection of gas leaks in infrastructure facilities has been increasing.
Conventional gas detection primarily relies on manual patrol inspections, which pose challenges such as:
- Entry into dangerous areas
- Difficulty in efficient wide-area monitoring
In response to these challenges, there is a rapidly growing need for non-contact, wide-area, real-time detection using drones and robots.
