AboutAbout the lab
Studying computers embedded in devices
The Honda Lab studies embedded systems, which are computer systems built into machines and devices to control them.
Example research themes include development environments using ROS and real-time operating systems, and performance evaluation.
The lab also conducts joint research with companies, and students can participate from their fourth year of undergraduate study.
Volunteer members also take part in the ET Robocon.
On the lab's website, it is introduced as the Honda Lab of the Graduate School of Informatics at Nagoya University and the Graduate School of Science and Engineering at Nanzan University.
Key terms
- Embedded system
- A computer system built into various machines and devices to control them. It is also installed in cars and home appliances
- ROS
- A technology used in the development of systems for autonomous driving and robot control

The lab investigates the development environments, performance, and safety of embedded systems using ROS, Rust, and other tools. The research page describes example research themes from fiscal year 2023.
*Illustrative imageA Robot Development Environment Built with ROS
The lab is developing, with a real-time OS and ROS, a development environment for creating control applications for ET Robocon driving robots. It aims to improve current issues such as slow processing speed and limited communication versatility.
*Illustrative imageIndustrial Network Support for ROS on Embedded Devices
The lab studies micro-ROS, which allows ROS 2 to be used on small embedded systems, with the aim of realizing a mechanism that assigns IDs to each message over CAN-FD communication, which is used in vehicles and other applications.
*Illustrative imagePerformance Evaluation of SPIKE-RT
The lab evaluates SPIKE-RT, a software platform that resolves problems with LEGO SPIKE Prime, by measuring the time from when a sensor reacts until the motor turns. Measurement and data organization are automated.
*Illustrative imageApplying Rust to Embedded Systems
The C language, which is widely used in embedded development, is said to have safety problems. The lab is learning and experimenting with Rust, a programming language designed with an emphasis on performance.
