About

Liberaware Co., Ltd. is a Japanese drone technology company founded in 2016 by researchers from Chiba University, specializing in ultra-compact drones engineered for inspection and measurement in confined, GPS-denied, and hazardous indoor environments. The company's flagship product, IBIS2, is among the world's smallest drones designed for inspecting boilers, pipelines, tunnels, chimneys, and other infrastructure spaces inaccessible to humans. Liberaware gained global recognition when its drone became the first ever deployed inside the melted-down reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and the company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in July 2024. Backed by JR East and Nippon Steel, Liberaware is expanding globally with a subsidiary in South Korea and partnerships in Malaysia and Hong Kong.
