Umezu Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that connects robots and living bodies using micro- and nano-scale technologies and 3D printers.
AboutAbout the lab
Connecting with living bodies through manufacturing in the tiniest of worlds.
Umezu Lab develops technologies at the micro and nano scale, targeting robots and living bodies.
It creates technologies related to thin-film electronics, 3D printers, and AI.
Its research covers a wide range, including 3D printers for use on the Moon, electronic devices attached to living bodies, and cyborg insects.
Its research themes also include 3D printers that combine metal and resin, AI and IoT for healthcare, and printed electronics.
Key terms
- Thin-film electronics
- Technology for building circuits on films thinner than paper. They can be bent or attached to skin
- Cyborg insects
- Living insects fitted with small electronic devices so that their movement can be assisted and controlled from outside
- 3D printing
- A fabrication method that builds three-dimensional objects by layering material little by little. Complex shapes can be made without molds

ResearchResearch themes
Umezu Lab develops technologies related to thin-film electronics, 3D printers, and AI in the micro and nano domains, targeting robots and living bodies. Its research extends from construction in space to devices attached to living bodies.
*Illustrative image3D printers for use on the Moon
For construction on the Moon, where transporting materials from Earth is difficult, the lab studies 3D printing technology that uses locally available materials.
*Illustrative imageBioelectronics
The lab studies thin, soft electronic devices that can be attached to skin and biological tissue. Its targets are sensors and electrodes that measure signals from the body.
*Illustrative imageBioengineering
The lab studies engineering technologies for handling cells and tissues. It is building mechanisms to measure the contractile force of cultured cardiac tissue, and fibrous scaffolds for studying nerve regeneration.
*Illustrative imageCyborg insects
The lab mounts thin electronic devices on living insects to assist their movement from outside and to control their direction. It aims to apply this to search operations at disaster sites.
MembersFaculty
The members of Umezu Lab consist of faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students.
