Yuichiro Sueoka, Associate Professor

The Real-World Intelligent Systems and Control Lab studied swarm navigation, focusing on autonomous decentralized systems and swarm robot systems. Taking a hint from a dog guiding a flock of sheep (a sheepdog system), it devised a method to guide a swarm to its destination. The proposed method was verified through simulation.

The Materials Evaluation Engineering Lab studies nondestructive testing and materials evaluation, using ultrasound to examine materials and structures without damaging them. This research is used for materials evaluation at the raw-material stage, inspection after processing and welding, and final inspection before shipment. Nondestructive testing is performed regularly on aircraft and in power plants and manufacturing plants, and the technology is also used to maintain aging buildings and bridges. The lab's website also introduces it as "Materials Evaluation Engineering (Hayashi-Mori Lab)."
Masato Ishikawa, Professor

The Ishikawa Lab in Mechanical Dynamics thoroughly explores "things that move," using mechanical dynamics, control theory, and dynamical systems theory as its main tools. Its research centers on the mechanics of locomotion, that is, how an object changes its position and orientation, and in particular on the dynamics and control of nonholonomic systems. Its interests are not limited to robots, and are expanding from the behavior of animals such as ants and crabs to the motion of large construction machinery. The lab values thinking mathematically, but equally values observing reality closely and building things on its own to test them.
Kenji Sawada, Professor

The Mechanical Information System Control Lab studies how to extract the essence of control from a wide range of subjects. Its approaches include information and communication, optimization, biomimetics, autonomous decentralized systems, and AI. With the extracted essence at its core, the lab aims to create new mechanical systems. Newly established in April 2025, the lab also goes by the name Sawada-Sugimoto Lab.
Nobutomo Nakamura, Professor

The Functional Materials Mechanics Lab uses measurement and observation techniques to reveal "invisible phenomena," such as microscale deformation and phase transformation inside materials and physical phenomena occurring at the nanoscale. Using acoustic measurement, nanotechnology, and sensing technology, the lab visualizes invisible phenomena inside solids and works to understand their essence, taking on the challenge of creating new technologies. The lab pays particular attention to changes in electrical and magnetic properties that appear when a solid is deformed, and also applies this to ultra-sensitive gas sensors and molecular sensors.
Shintaro Takeuchi, Professor

The Fluid Physics Lab (Takeuchi-Okabayashi Lab) studies flow phenomena, centered on numerical simulation of turbulence and multiphase flow. As the foundation of its research, the lab works on the mathematics of numerical simulation, data-driven fluid mechanics, and new numerical methods and approximate solution methods. Its applications include heat transport in particle-laden flows, flows inside the body, turbulence control by machine learning, and instability and noise caused by cavitation. The lab belongs to the Thermal Fluid Dynamics group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Osaka.
Fumiteru Akamatsu, Professor

The Combustion Engineering Lab conducts research and development on the combustion of next-generation fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen, and biomass, as well as on new combustion and ignition technologies. The lab investigates how soot and nitrogen oxides form in fields where pulverized coal and oil droplets burn, using laser measurement that does not disturb the combustion field. It also works on combustion simulation and modeling that take reaction mechanisms into account, targeting jet flames and ammonia combustion furnaces, among others. The lab belongs to the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Osaka, and is introduced under the name “Combustion Engineering Lab” on the lab's website.
Keisuke Morishima, Professor

The Bio-Machine Fusion Wet Robotics Lab studies biological machine systems, with biology and micromachines as its keywords. Its foundational technologies are bio-MEMS, microfluidic control, and microfabrication. The lab has worked on the design, basic experiments, and proof of principle of soft microactuators driven by cardiac muscle cells. The lab aims at manufacturing that creates new value in biomedical applications, health checkups, environmental analysis, agri-bio, pharmaceuticals, and the mobility business. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name “Morishima Lab.”
Mitsuru Higashimori, Professor

The Intelligent Machine Systems Lab (Higashimori Lab) studies robotics and mechatronics, centered on the manipulation of objects by humans and robots. The lab explores principles inherent to humans and principles unique to robots, and seeks to establish methods for realizing them as “intelligent machine systems.” It covers the whole process, from developing basic theory and simulation techniques to verification through experiments on real machines. It also ventures into interdisciplinary fields combining food science with medicine and dentistry, creating new research problems and systems.
Toshiyuki Enomoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Precision Machining Lab conducts research on manufacturing in the fields of medicine and medical devices, semiconductors, space and aircraft, automobiles and construction machinery, and optics. Its work is wide-ranging, from basic research that creates new technologies, devices, and principles never seen before, to applied research driven by industry needs. In addition to joint research with companies in various fields, the lab also collaborates with the School of Medicine. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Enomoto-Sugihara Lab."
