The Human Assistive Engineering Lab (Ino-Yoshimoto Lab) conducts interdisciplinary research in health and assistive technology, using science and technology to support the daily lives of diverse people. Aiming to create QOL (Quality of Life) technologies that assist, substitute for, and augment physical and mental functions, the lab takes as its guiding principle to learn about humans and build machines. In basic research, the lab works on human measurement. In applied research, it addresses sensory substitution, rehabilitation, lifestyle-related disease prevention, and frailty prevention. The lab also studies human-machine systems, such as virtual reality that expands people's potential.

The Solid Mechanics Lab studies the deformation mechanisms of materials and the evolution of defects across a wide range of time and length scales, from atoms to structural components, and links this research to the design of materials and structures. In particular, the lab uses atomistic simulation to investigate the origins of embrittlement, in which materials lose their inherent strength or function under mechanical, chemical, or thermal environments, taking hydrogen embrittlement of steel as an example. The research has expanded to lightweight, high-strength metallic materials and two-dimensional materials such as MXene, and it also uses data-driven methods such as machine learning. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Matsumoto Lab."

The Spacecraft Dynamics and Control Lab researches technologies for controlling the orbit and attitude of spacecraft such as rockets, satellites, and planetary probes. Because spacecraft behavior follows mechanical models faithfully, the lab uses those models to work on attitude control technologies and trajectory design for next-generation spacecraft that will carry out increasingly diverse and sophisticated missions. The lab also handles the control of mechanical systems other than spacecraft, such as the attitude dynamics of stratospheric balloons and cooperative coverage control of quadcopter swarms. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Satoh Lab."

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)."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
