Keisuke Morishima, Professor
0 student voices
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.”

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.

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."
Katsuyoshi Kondo, Professor

The Composite Mechanisms Lab researches how to give titanium and other metallic materials high strength and advanced functionality through sintering, in which powder is consolidated, and through metal 3D printing. It also studies material design that combines carbon nanotubes with metals, and direct joining of dissimilar materials such as titanium and magnesium alloys, or metals and resins. Beyond experiments, the lab uses first-principles calculations to predict the behavior of atoms and works on building models for predicting strength. The lab is located at the Joining and Welding Research Institute, Osaka University, and is a cooperating chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (Division of Micro Mechanical Science), Graduate School of Engineering.

The Design Engineering Lab researches design theory, methodology, and computer-aided technologies, with the aim of realizing excellent, innovative designs. The lab explores ways to carry out product development and design rationally, by considering factors such as value, cost, and time comprehensively and systematically. On the lab's website, it is introduced as the "Fujita-Nomaguchi-Yaji Lab."
Takeru Yano, Professor

The Nonlinear Nonequilibrium Fluid Dynamics Lab studies fluid phenomena and their application to mechanical engineering, with nonlinearity and nonequilibrium as its keywords. Its aim is not a theory that solves the problems of a specific fluid machine, but a foundational theory for solving fundamental problems across a broad range of fluid engineering. Developing new mechanical systems based on that theory is also one of its goals. In education, the lab is built on foundational skills centered on mathematics and physics, logical thinking, and an attitude of pursuing the essence of things.
Yuichi Setsuhara, Professor

The Energy Conversion Mechanisms Lab (Setsuhara Lab) studies the interaction between materials and the energy sources used for processing, such as plasmas and particle beams. The lab pursues the fundamental science needed to enhance and precisely control the functions of material surfaces and interfaces, conducting research that leads to advances in joining science. Using its own plasma generation and control technologies, the lab advances research and development toward low-temperature, low-damage, high-quality materials processes. The lab also works on developing dissimilar material joining technology, which bonds different types of materials such as organic materials and metals, using atmospheric-pressure nonequilibrium plasma.

The System Design Lab studies actuator and sensor technologies that are essential for robots, automobiles, and home appliances. Its targets are next-generation devices that focus on new materials and principles, such as multi-degree-of-freedom actuators that can perform multi-degree-of-freedom motion in a single unit, magnetic fluids, and giant magnetostrictive elements. Using the finite element method and particle methods, the lab develops coupled analysis methods that combine stress, temperature, and fluid fields around the electromagnetic field, and uses the results to pursue optimal design and examine control methods. Being able to handle everything consistently, from device planning and proposal through analysis, optimal design, prototyping, and establishing control methods, is presented as a feature of the lab.
Hidefumi Wakamatsu, Associate Professor

The Digital Production Systems Lab studies methods for using computers to intelligently support the creative activities that people carry out in manufacturing. At each stage of the lifecycle of industrial products, the lab aims not only to replace routine tasks with machines but also to support people's creative activities. Its research includes methods for predicting failures during product use at the conceptual design stage, and techniques for approximate stress analysis of machine parts using a minimal amount of training data. The lab develops computer-aided methods that allow even less experienced workers to carry out their tasks accurately.
Kazutomo Suenaga, Professor

The Nanostructure and Function Characterization Lab (Suenaga Lab) uses state-of-the-art electron microscopes to analyze the atomic-level structure of nanomaterials and evaluate their functions. The lab has developed an environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM) that can observe nanostructures in a gas at the atomic scale. Using this microscope, the lab creates new nanomaterials itself and examines their structure and physical properties in the environments where they are actually used. The lab is a research division of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research, and accepts graduate students as a cooperating research group of the Department of Materials and Manufacturing Science.
