Shinya Aoi, Professor

The Aoi Lab, part of the Neuromechanics Group, focuses on organisms that walk while adapting to a variety of environments, and studies how their motor intelligence works and how it can be applied. The lab forms hypotheses from analyses of organisms' movements, models the neural, muscular, and skeletal systems, runs dynamic simulations, and analyzes them using dynamical systems theory. In this way, the lab aims to clarify mathematically the mechanisms behind the excellent motor control and movement generation of living organisms. The lab also turns these findings into engineering designs and develops robots that show excellent motor functions.

The Nakamura Lab studies the measurement and analysis of biological information and its applications in health and medicine. The lab uses IoT devices to collect and analyze biological information from daily life, and develops digital biomarkers that objectively evaluate and detect mental and physical conditions, diseases, and pre-disease states. Building on these evaluation and detection technologies, the lab also studies methods for behavior change using digital devices. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nakamura Lab."

The Biophysical Data Science Lab studies how to read states of health and disease from the "fluctuations" that appear in biological signals. Even at rest, a healthy person's heartbeat is not constant: the interval between beats varies irregularly, and in disease this feature tends to be lost, leaving a monotonous rhythm. Focusing on the similarity to "fluctuations in complex systems," which arise from the interaction of many elements, the lab develops technologies that can help assess biological function and diagnose disease. The lab also works on using health-related big data and biological information measured by wearable devices for medicine and health management.

The Molecular Biomeasurement Lab combines measurement; mathematical science, physics, statistics, and informatics; and molecular biology and genetic engineering to understand hierarchical and complex life phenomena. The lab seeks to understand life phenomena such as cell shape, force, movement, and aging on the basis of physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. It also aims to open up a new field of biophysics and to achieve medical applications such as the regulation of aging. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Deguchi Lab."
Yusuke Sakaue, Lecturer

The Bioimaging Lab is in the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering, Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University. The graduate school's list of laboratories names Lecturer Yusuke Sakaue as the faculty member. The lab website introduces the lab under the name "Bioimaging Laboratory." In the graduate school, the lab belongs to Biomedical Measurement (graduate school-only appointment) in the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering.

The Robot Mechanisms Lab conducts research and development on the mechanisms that generate robot motion. Starting from the spherical omnidirectional wheel "Omni-Ball," the lab systematically pursues research and development on omnidirectional drive mechanisms and other extreme mechanisms. The lab also puts effort into the entire process of realizing a mechanism, from generating the original idea behind its principle to designing and prototyping the actual hardware. As applications of robot mechanisms, the lab has in mind mobile robot bases and grasping devices for use in disaster areas.

The Dialogue Intelligence Systems Lab conducts research and education with the goal of realizing dialogue intelligence in robots and systems that coexist with humans. The lab believes that communication through language is essential for robots and similar systems to operate in the same space as humans. To realize dialogue functions that work in the real world, the lab handles diverse modalities, such as speech, images, and robot motion, with language at the center. While developing systems and robots that are useful in daily life, the lab also aims to clarify what human intelligence is.
Yuichiro Yoshikawa, Professor

The Social Robotics Group (Yoshikawa Lab) studies robots that are accepted as members of society and contribute to forming and sustaining it. As the structure of human society continues to change, there is a need for technologies that support the healthy social participation of all people, including the socially vulnerable. The lab believes that for robots to stay close to individuals and connect people with society, research is needed on robots equipped with human-like sociality. The lab uses a variety of robots that differ in form and capability, including robots that behave like humans, robots that can manipulate objects and move around, and CG robots.
Hiroshi Ishiguro, Professor (Distinguished Professor)

The Intelligent Robotics Lab aims to realize intelligent systems that will support the human society of the future, and it researches the creation of humanoid robots that interact richly with people. Building on sensor engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science, the lab advances research and development of perceptual information infrastructure and intelligent robot information infrastructure. Because developing humanoid robots is closely tied to the fundamental question of "what is a human being?", the lab sets up experimental fields in real-world settings such as street corners and hospitals and conducts social experiments with robots. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Ishiguro Lab."
Daisuke Iwai, Professor

The Augmented Reality Lab researches VR technology, which immerses users in a cyber world created by computers, and AR technology, which brings the flexibility of the cyber world into the physical world. The lab works on projection mapping for comfortable VR and AR, technology that captures an entire real space and reproduces it in 3D, and technology that uses wearable computers to capture human intentions. The lab also puts effort into establishing "material perception science," a new academic field that clarifies how people perceive the material qualities of objects. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Iwai Lab."
