AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering the fluctuations and chaos hidden in nature
The Yanao Lab studies nonlinear and nonequilibrium phenomena hidden in natural phenomena ranging from space to life.
Built on four fields (space, machine learning, complex systems, and dynamical systems), it covers a wide range, from the motion of celestial bodies to the motion of molecules.
It applies the ideas of mechanics to real subjects, such as attitude control of satellites and robots and the analysis of weather data.
Key terms
- Nonlinear
- Describes phenomena or equations in which cause and effect are not proportional in size and which behave in complex ways
- Complex systems
- Systems in which many elements influence one another and produce behavior that is hard to predict for the whole
- n-body problem
- A problem in mechanics that deals with the motion of three or more bodies, such as celestial bodies, influencing one another through gravity
ResearchResearch themes
The Yanao Lab aims to elucidate nonlinear and nonequilibrium phenomena hidden in a wide range of natural phenomena, from space to life. Grounded in four foundational fields (space, machine learning, complex systems, and dynamical systems), it takes on themes ranging from the motion of celestial bodies to the motion of molecules.
*Illustrative imageMotion of Planets and Asteroids
This research analyzes the motion of planets and asteroids in the solar system using dynamical systems theory, and clarifies the mechanisms behind it.
*Illustrative imageTrajectory Design for Space Probes
This research designs and controls the trajectories of space probes using the n-body problem, which takes into account the gravity of multiple celestial bodies.
*Illustrative imageMotion of Satellites and Space Debris
This research analyzes the orbits and attitudes with which satellites and space debris move.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of Weather Data
The lab analyzes global-scale weather data to extract the dynamical structure behind it.
