Tomoyuki Miyashita, Professor
2 student voices
The Miyashita Lab (System Design Lab) studies technologies that support the design of machines and structures. Using mechanical properties and artificial intelligence, the lab also works on designing machines that operate in special environments such as space and the deep sea. The lab places importance on actually building what it designs in order to verify it.
Jin Kusaka, Professor
1 student voices
The Kusaka Lab studies automotive engines and the powertrains of hybrid and electric vehicles. Tracing its roots to the Internal Combustion Engine Laboratory established in 1918, the lab continues hands-on research using actual engines and equipment. Developing engines and catalysts compatible with carbon-neutral fuels is one of the lab's central research themes.
Makoto Yoshida, Professor
1 student voices
The Yoshida Lab studies metal materials used in automobiles, aircraft, and power systems. By combining computer simulation with experiments, the lab predicts the defects and distortion that arise during casting and heat treatment. Its results are also applied to parts such as rocket engine components in national space development projects.
Shigeru Wesugi, Professor
1 student voices
Wesugi Lab studies the design of the “between” connecting people, tools, and the world. It focuses on the new bodily movements, sensations, and expanded experiences that arise from using tools. Its research targets familiar tools, such as devices that help improve athletic skills.
Yu Matsuda, Professor
1 student voices
The Matsuda Lab studies measurement techniques that use light-emitting molecules to make pressure, temperature, and flow visible. It develops methods such as pressure-sensitive paint, temperature-sensitive paint, and single-molecule tracking, making it possible to measure phenomena down to the nano and micro scale. The research has a wide range of applications, from pressure measurement in hard disk drives and household appliances to paper-based biochemical analysis.
Atsuo Takanishi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takanishi Lab aims to understand humans by building robots that reproduce them. Tracing the mechanisms of the human mind and body, the lab conducts research and development on humanoid robots, working toward a society in which humans and robots live together. The lab works on human motion measurement, walking and running robots, a robot that plays musical instruments, and patient robots for medical training.
Shigeki Sugano, Professor
0 student voices
The Sugano Lab studies robots that can work in the same space as humans, under the theme of human-robot coexistence. It applies human-machine systems, reexamined mainly from the perspective of biomechanisms, to human-coexistence robots, human-robot communication, intelligent production systems, and more. Divided into teams, the lab works on everything from developing components such as actuators and skin sensors to infrastructure inspection, remote operation, and assisting people.
Hiroaki Gomi, Professor
0 student voices
The Gomi Lab aims to understand the brain information processing that underlies skillful human movements and to apply it. It seeks to elucidate brain information processing through experiments, analysis, and computational models. Applying the mechanisms it discovers, the lab is advancing research on flexible, intelligent robots and new interfaces. It deals with the relationship between vision and movement, motor control that operates unconsciously, and the senses of touch and force.
Takao Takao, Professor
0 student voices
The Takao Lab conducts research from the perspective of exergy engineering, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions in power and energy systems. Centered on CO2 separation, capture, storage, and utilization, the lab studies systems that produce energy and materials simultaneously. The lab aims to make technologies that prevent CO2 from being released into the atmosphere practical in society, and to contribute to carbon neutrality in industry by 2050. The lab is developing concrete made from seawater and CO2, and a technology that fixes CO2 by accelerating rock weathering.
Kosei Ishimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishimura Lab conducts research aiming to realize 'global structures,' large structures that extend across space. Until now, external environmental forces have been treated as something to be removed in order to maintain a structure's shape and function; the lab takes the opposite stance and makes use of them. It treats forces received from the environment and control forces as structural elements on par with structural members, and creates new systems by designing mechanical interactions.
