AboutAbout the lab
Exploring clues to a richer future for people and society through system development
The Intelligent Systems Lab (Takai Lab) explores clues to a richer future for people and society through system development.
One of its research topics, “discrete event systems,” was used in the “automation” that flourished at production sites such as factories from around the 1960s.
Such systems have continued to develop over time and are still used today in a wide range of fields, including autonomous driving, drone piloting, and the operation and management of unmanned logistics warehouses.
Research themes include adaptation to unknown environments, path planning for wirelessly powered drones, control of large language models, and exploration of the lunar polar regions.

View More ↗ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to further advance and apply systems, and explores clues to a richer future for people and society. Its research introduction lists adaptation to unknown environments, drone path planning, control of large language models and of weather, exploration of the lunar polar regions, process control, and more.
*Illustrative imageControl that predicts and avoids unknown hazards
Based on the idea of “using knowledge gained in past environments to adapt quickly to new ones,” the lab proposes new control methods for adapting to unknown environments.
*Illustrative imagePath planning for wirelessly powered drones
The lab works on path planning for wirelessly powered drones by combining methods based on knowledge from multiple fields: machine learning, control theory, formal logic, and wireless communication.
*Illustrative imageControl of large language models
Large language models, represented by ChatGPT, have greatly improved at automatically generating natural language, and their applications to dialogue systems and decision support are advancing. The lab lists their control as a research theme.
*Illustrative imageWeather control
A project to develop a feedback control framework that can be used for weather, a large-scale and complex system.
