System Design Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies actuators and sensors based on new principles consistently, from analysis through control.

AboutAbout the lab
From device planning to control, end to end.
The System Design Lab studies actuator and sensor technologies that are essential for robots, automobiles, and home appliances.
Its targets are next-generation devices that focus on new materials and principles, such as multi-degree-of-freedom actuators that can perform multi-degree-of-freedom motion in a single unit, magnetic fluids, and giant magnetostrictive elements.
Using the finite element method and particle methods, the lab develops coupled analysis methods that combine stress, temperature, and fluid fields around the electromagnetic field, and uses the results to pursue optimal design and examine control methods.
Being able to handle everything consistently, from device planning and proposal through analysis, optimal design, prototyping, and establishing control methods, is presented as a feature of the lab.
Key terms
- Actuator
- A device that converts energy such as electricity into the movement of objects. Essential for robots, automobiles, and home appliances
- Finite element method
- An analysis method that divides an object into small elements and computes physical phenomena such as electromagnetic fields
- Coupled analysis
- Analysis that computes together how multiple physical phenomena affect one another, such as electromagnetic, stress, temperature, and fluid fields
ResearchResearch themes
This lab can handle new actuator and sensor devices end to end, from planning and proposal through analysis, optimal design, prototyping, and establishing control methods. To uncover the mechanisms of complex physical phenomena, it develops coupled analysis methods centered on the electromagnetic field using the finite element method and particle methods.
