Kensuke Harada, Professor

The Robot Manipulation Lab researches how to realize the dexterous movements of human fingers and arms in robots. As the saying "the hand is a second brain" suggests, clarifying the functions of the hand is directly linked to understanding human intelligence. By realizing dexterous human movements through engineering, the lab seeks to understand human intelligence and also researches and develops practical robot systems. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Harada Lab."

The Control and Information Systems research group is a lab that conducts research under keywords such as cyber-physical systems, mobility systems, distributed control, and machine learning. Titles of members' bachelor's theses include formation control of drone swarms, vehicle dispatch and assignment in car sharing, person re-identification in camera networks, and grasping and transporting objects with multiple agents. The group belongs to the Systems Mathematics Chair, in the Division of Mathematical Science for Social Systems of the Department of Systems Innovation in the Graduate School of Engineering Science at the graduate level, and in the Intelligent Systems Course of the Department of Systems Science in the School of Engineering Science at the undergraduate level.
Masahiro Inuiguchi, Professor

The Inuiguchi Lab aims to develop intelligent decision support technologies that incorporate information science and intelligent engineering, along with methods for systems planning. The lab studies fundamental theories such as decision theory, mathematical programming, fuzzy set theory, and game theory. Based on these theories, it develops and applies new decision-making methods, optimization techniques, and data analysis methods. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Inuiguchi Lab."

The Biomedical Engineering Lab's research areas are medical devices, artificial organs (cardiovascular), biomeasurement, physiological monitoring, and biomaterials. The lab belongs to the Bioengineering area of the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering, Graduate School of Engineering Science, The University of Osaka, and is run by a visiting professor. The Bioengineering area aims to analyze and understand the structure and function of living organisms at various scales, and to apply the findings to fields such as medicine and engineering for practical use.
Akihiko Ishijima, Professor

The lab observes, manipulates, and measures biological phenomena at the single-molecule level in aqueous solution, keeping their function intact as much as possible. The lab works on elucidating the rotation mechanism of the bacterial flagellar motor, the signal transduction mechanism of the bacterial chemotaxis system, and the working mechanism of actomyosin. The lab's microscope systems are customized, and building the instruments is part of the research. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Ishijima Lab."
Mototaka Suzuki, Professor

The Brain Engineering Lab works to elucidate the basic operating principles of brain neural circuits, centered on dendrites. The lab states that the operating principles of the brain are still unknown and are fundamentally different from those of current artificial intelligence. In 2020, the lab found that general anesthesia blocks information transmission via the dendrites of layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex, and the paper was published in Cell. The lab welcomes students who readily adopt novel ideas and new technologies and take on difficult problems of the brain.
Shinji Nishimoto, Professor

The lab studies the neural basis of the complex and diverse brain functions that support daily life. It builds predictive models that explain brain activity recorded with fMRI and electrophysiological recordings, aiming to quantitatively understand information processing and information representation in the brain. As applications of these predictive models, the lab also aims to develop the mathematical foundations for brain decoding and for communication methods built on it. The lab belongs to the Division of Brain and Neural Engineering. It operates as part of the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences and as the Nishimoto Group at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), and members from diverse backgrounds work together on its research.
Fumiyo Ikeda, Professor

The lab focuses on ubiquitin, a molecule that carries out post-translational modification. Ubiquitin is involved in every kind of biological effect, and when the ubiquitin system breaks down, it can trigger diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. By understanding the fundamental principles of the ubiquitin system, the lab aims to approach the mechanisms by which many diseases arise. In particular, the lab focuses on linear ubiquitin chains generated by LUBAC.

The lab studies the mechanisms by which features unique to humans, not found in other animals, arise. By combining evolutionary genomics with stem cell technology, it seeks to uncover the origins of what makes us human at the molecular and cellular levels. Humans acquired a huge brain and high cognitive abilities, but they also bear an evolutionary cost: a susceptibility to psychiatric and neurological disorders and cancer. The lab belongs to the Division of Brain and Neural Engineering in the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences.
