An evolving lab that optimizes energy systems and industrial plants through AI and control.
AboutAbout the lab
Evolving automation systems through AI and control
The Amano Lab studies the optimization of energy systems and industrial processes.
By combining control technology with AI technology and digital communication, it aims to build "evolving automation systems."
Its research targets span a wide range of fields, including energy systems, industrial plants and devices, and sensors for autonomously moving robots.
Key terms
- Energy Systems
- The whole series of mechanisms for producing, transmitting, and using energy such as electricity and heat
- Fieldbus
- A communication mechanism that connects machines and devices in places such as factories through digital communication
- SLAM
- A technology that builds a map of the surroundings while simultaneously measuring one's own position
NewsLab news
Prof. Amano elected Secretary of the ECOS International Society
A paper from the lab selected for a Division Outstanding Paper Award from the Robotics and Mechatronics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers
ResearchResearch themes
With control technology at its core, the Amano Lab studies theory and applications for designing and operating energy and industrial processes optimally. In recent years, it has also been working on new approaches to control through integration with communication technology.
*Illustrative imageOptimal Design of Energy Systems
To design energy systems rationally, the lab studies operation and control systems that take into account changes in demand and the uncertainty of renewable energy.
*Illustrative imageDiagnostic Technology for Smart Plants
The lab studies mechanisms for diagnosing the operating state of a plant using fieldbus, a communication technology used in factory plants.
*Illustrative imageHigh-Precision Outdoor Sensing
For robots that move autonomously outdoors, the lab studies SLAM, a technology that builds a map of the surroundings while measuring the robot's own position.
*Illustrative imageFoundational Technologies for Lunar and Planetary Exploration
The lab conducts joint research with researchers in Japan and abroad on technologies for collecting and transporting lunar regolith and water ice.
