Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores control engineering technologies for operating robots and other systems at will.

AboutAbout the lab
Controlling things at will through control technology.
The Kai Lab takes control engineering as its main theme and conducts a wide range of research, from fundamental theory to applications in many fields.
Control is the technology of operating all kinds of things in the world at will.
Control technology is used in everything related to our daily lives, including air conditioners, airplanes, high-rise buildings, and hard disk drives.
The lab also works on environmental and energy issues and on robot technology for humans, aiming to contribute to society through control engineering.
Key terms
- Control
- Technology for making things such as air conditioners and airplanes operate as intended
- Nonlinear system
- A system in which the relationship between input and output is not simply proportional
- Control algorithm
- A computational procedure that determines what commands to issue so that a target operates as intended
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research ranging from fundamentals to applications, with "control engineering" and "nonlinearity" as its keywords. It focuses in particular on building new control theory that makes full use of computer performance, on contributions of control engineering to environmental and energy issues, and on developing human-friendly robot technology.
