Systems Planning Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that supports shipbuilding design and work with artificial intelligence and robotics.
AboutAbout the lab
Solving shipbuilding challenges with technologies from other fields
The Systems Planning Lab researches building systems that use artificial intelligence and robotics to support design and work in naval architecture and ocean engineering.
In addition to basic shipbuilding engineering, the lab approaches its research from the standpoint of other fields, such as systems engineering and intelligent and information engineering.
The lab aims to train people who, when facing a technical challenge, proactively introduce IT from other fields, especially systems engineering, and can devise and implement novel and rational solutions that have not existed before.
The lab is housed in the endowed chair for human resource development in naval architecture and ocean engineering.
Key terms
- Cargo hold
- The compartment of a cargo ship in which cargo is loaded.
- Stockyard
- A place at a shipyard where steel plates and hull blocks are temporarily stored.
- Optimization
- Finding the answer that gives the best result, such as in cost or time, under given conditions.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to build systems that support design and work in naval architecture and ocean engineering using artificial intelligence, robotics, and IT. Its research topics include automated piping design, work support at shipyards, and wall-climbing robots.
*Illustrative imageAutomated piping design
The lab studies methods for automatically designing, by computer, pipe routes and equipment placement for piping in ships, plants, and buried gas pipelines. It searches for better layouts while evaluating pipe length, the number of bends, and how easy the valves are to operate.
*Illustrative imageIndoor positioning system
The lab studies mechanisms for determining the positions of workers and objects inside shipyard buildings. It is examining a method that estimates position from the signal strength of already-installed wireless LANs.
*Illustrative imageWall-climbing cleaning robot
The lab is developing a robot that adheres to and moves along walls in order to clean the walls of cargo holds on cargo ships. Using air pressure and permanent magnets, it aims for a low-cost, durable robot.
*Illustrative imageShipyard process planning and scheduling
The lab studies how to plan shipyard stockyards and processes using optimization and scheduling methods.
