The Wireless Information and Communications Lab studies radio waves in order to support people's daily lives and protect their safety. The lab is developing methods to investigate and evaluate the safety of implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers, when they are exposed to radio waves. It also works on designing antennas that operate over a wide frequency range to enable high-capacity, ultra-high-speed communication. In addition, the lab studies how to accurately estimate how radio waves propagate, using large-scale supercomputer simulations.

The System Control Theory Lab studies how to use mathematics to build mechanisms that make things move as intended. To solve various problems in controlling and managing a wide range of targets, from man-made objects to natural phenomena, the lab studies the foundations of control theory. It focuses in particular on nonlinear control theory and on the control of hybrid systems that include logical information processing. Applications are wide-ranging: four-wheeled robots, manipulators, automobile engines, drones, power systems, and gene networks.

The Digital Geometry Processing Engineering Lab studies how to represent shapes obtained by 3D measurement of everyday objects accurately inside a computer and make them usable. The lab builds software that converts and processes large-scale 3D data from laser scanning and CT to suit purposes such as design, manufacturing, maintenance, and diagnosis. Its subjects range widely: industrial products such as automobiles and machine parts, large structures such as buildings and bridges, urban areas and city environments, and the human body. Research combines foundations in linear algebra, statistics, optimization, and discrete geometry with implementation through data structures and programming.

The Human-Centric Engineering Lab studies mechanisms that assist human physical and sensory functions. Combining robotics, measurement engineering, and ergonomics, the lab builds human-centered systems. It studies assist suits that reduce physical strain and mobile robots that cooperate with people. It also works on measuring human behavior and combining it with AI image recognition to read posture and movement.

The System Environment Informatics Lab studies how to connect the real world with the world inside computers, using three keys: systems, environments, and information. It works on cyber fields, which are virtual worlds built inside computers that are identical to real-world settings such as factories, social infrastructure, and disaster sites. It also studies product model data, which describes as data all the information needed from product design through production, inspection, maintenance, and disposal. Rather than staying within the world of information, the lab works with real systems and real fields to explore new ways of shaping society and industry through information science.

The Electrical Energy Conversion Lab develops and studies equipment for the generation, conversion, and application of electrical energy. The lab designs, analyzes, and develops equipment that makes use of superconductivity, in which electrical resistance drops to zero, and works on speeding up large-scale numerical electromagnetic field analysis of electrical equipment. Effective energy equipment is needed not only to solve environmental problems through CO2 reduction, but also in medicine and pharmaceuticals. Research proceeds through both experiments and simulation, and in recent years the lab has also worked on AI-based equipment design and stable operation.

The Power Systems Lab studies technologies for generating and delivering electrical energy effectively, economically, and stably. It approaches power systems from many angles, including software, hardware, and systems perspectives. In recent years, the lab has been developing technologies for making use of renewable energy generation such as solar and wind power. Its research themes range widely, from hydrogen energy and microgrids to power trading between consumers.

The Electromagnetic Engineering Lab studies power conversion and control technologies that are widely applied at every stage of the generation, transmission, and use of electrical energy. Power electronics is a technology that changes voltage, current, and frequency into the form needed, based on the switching operation of power semiconductor devices. It can not only convert but also control power at high speed and with high precision, and is regarded as a key technology for energy saving. Its applications keep expanding, from electric vehicles, electric aircraft, electric railways, and mega solar plants to power systems.

The Intelligent Robot Systems Lab researches how robot technology can build a safer and more secure society. It works on humanoid robots that operate in environments humans cannot approach, and on surgical simulators that let surgeons practice through trial and error before difficult operations. Its research themes also include robotics that pursues high speed, and image processing for autonomous driving and agricultural robots. The lab has facilities that include humanoid robots with the same shape, size, and weight as a human, high-speed robot hands, and an optical motion capture system.

The Crop Science Lab studies how well food crops such as wheat, rice, and maize grow and yield in fields and paddies. By developing crops that withstand environmental stresses such as drought and cold damage, the lab aims to contribute to world food production and local agriculture. Members grow the crops themselves, from sowing or planting to harvest, and build up growth surveys and sample analyses over the course of each year. The lab does not stop at "research for research's sake"; it places importance on returning its results to farming sites.
