Evolving Mechanical Systems Technology Industry-Academia Joint Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab combines university knowledge with industrial expertise to create mechanical systems that continue to evolve.
AboutAbout the lab
Kyoto University's "knowledge" and industry's "expertise."
The Evolving Mechanical Systems Technology Industry-Academia Joint Lab is a joint research chair established by the Kyoto University Graduate School of Engineering and Mitsubishi Electric.
It brings together, in an organized way, Kyoto University's expertise and the wide range of electrical products, systems, and devices that Mitsubishi Electric develops.
Drawing on interdisciplinary knowledge, the lab advances research and development of "evolving mechanical systems" that solve diverse social problems.
The lab also works to develop people who will drive innovation.

The lab works on research into advanced mechanical systems that take interaction with people into account, advanced fundamental research as a source of technology seeds, and the application of that research. As an organizational collaboration between Kyoto University and Mitsubishi Electric, it conducts research in the following four areas.
*Illustrative imageMechanical Systems Without Barriers Between Humans and Machines
In a future society where humans and machines coexist, mechanical systems that support people accurately will be needed. To achieve this, the lab advances research and development in collaboration not only with researchers centered on traditional mechanical engineering but also with researchers in other fields.
*Illustrative imageSpace Services
As an activity that contributes to recent policies for expanding the use of outer space, the lab advances research and development of the fundamental technologies needed for cargo transport and logistics networks.
*Illustrative imageRobots That Coexist with Humans
Robots equipped with generative AI have increasingly taken on the character of evolving autonomous agents in recent years. Against this background, the lab explores new relationships between humans and robots from the perspective of human augmentation.
*Illustrative imageAdvanced Mechanical Devices and Applications
By integrating cutting-edge research, the lab develops mechanical devices that achieve physical properties orders of magnitude beyond current ones, and aims to lead this work into practical development for implementation in society.
