The Ion Trap Quantum Metrology Lab researches and develops on-chip ion traps that combine atomic physics with microfabrication technology. Building on ion trap and laser cooling technologies that individually manipulate atoms at the level of single atoms, the lab advances its research in collaboration with research institutions in Japan and abroad that have microfabrication expertise. The lab pursues a wide range of research activities, including participation in a national project to pioneer new quantum information and quantum metrology technologies, and the establishment of an international joint lab between Osaka University and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) of Germany. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name “Utako Tanaka Group.”

The Advanced Electronics Lab studies fields that merge electronics and science, such as atomic and molecular electronics and bioelectronics. By creating and measuring extreme environments, the lab aims to deepen materials science and to create new materials, devices, and systems. Its research themes include observing atoms and molecules on solid surfaces, visualizing drug reactions in living organisms, and research approaching the essence of electromagnetic noise. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name “Abe Lab” as a research division of the affiliated Center for Extreme Science.

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.

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.

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."

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."

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 Differential Equations Group (Kobayashi Lab) seeks to understand natural and social phenomena through mathematical models such as differential equations, and studies the properties of their solutions using mathematical methods. By reducing phenomena to pure mathematics, the lab also aims to deepen mathematics itself. The lab also uses computer-assisted analysis to study the qualitative and global properties of solutions to differential equations. The lab belongs to the Mathematical Modeling Division of the Mathematical Science Area in the Department of Systems Innovation, Graduate School of Engineering Science.

The Applied Analysis Lab studies mathematical models, which express phenomena seen in nature and society as equations, by analyzing them with mathematical methods. Its subjects are wide-ranging, including chemical reactions, fluid motion, the behavior of quantum-mechanical particles, and the progression of malignant tumors. On the theoretical side, the lab investigates the properties of the partial differential equations obtained as models of phenomena, using methods of modern mathematics such as the calculus of variations, dynamical systems theory, and blow-up analysis. On the applied side, the lab examines the properties of the equations through numerical simulation and compares the results with actual phenomena to verify the validity of the models.
