Miyashita Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses mechanics and intelligence to design the forms of machines that can operate even in space and the deep sea.
AboutAbout the lab
Shaping objects with mechanics and intelligence
The Miyashita Lab (System Design Lab) studies technologies that support the design of machines and structures.
Using mechanical properties and artificial intelligence, the lab also works on designing machines that operate in special environments such as space and the deep sea.
The lab places importance on actually building what it designs in order to verify it.
Key terms
- Mathematical programming
- A computational method that uses mathematical formulas to find the best combination or conditions
- Power semiconductor
- A semiconductor component that handles large amounts of electric power while controlling electricity efficiently
- Artificial intelligence
- Technology that enables computers to learn and make judgments like humans

ResearchResearch themes
The Miyashita Lab conducts research toward design that takes into account the dynamic and static mechanical properties of structures and the properties of materials. It approaches this from two sides: design support using mathematical programming and artificial intelligence, and technology development for machines that operate in space, the deep sea, and confined spaces.
*Illustrative imageData-Driven Design Support
The lab studies methods to support the upstream stage of design, analyzing market data and sales trends to consider how to combine product functions.
*Illustrative imageMultidisciplinary Design Optimization
In designing machines that involve multiple fields such as mechanics, heat, and control, the lab studies how to coordinate each field to reach a good design, using examples such as satellites.
*Illustrative imageShape Optimization of Coolers
To efficiently cool heat-generating parts such as power semiconductors, the lab designs cooler shapes by combining optimization methods and simulation.
*Illustrative imageDesigning Shapes That Carry Loads
The lab studies a design method that considers how forces acting on an object are transmitted, and derives the shapes of lightweight, strong structures from the way forces flow.
