Kiyotaka Iwasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Iwasaki Lab pioneers the boundary between mechanical engineering and medicine, working on the development and evaluation of advanced therapeutic devices. Beyond developing new therapeutic devices, the lab builds unprecedented test systems that replicate patients' physical conditions. It uses these test systems for the efficient development of therapeutic devices, and also works on methods to evaluate their efficacy and safety. Through joint research with physicians working on the front lines of clinical care, the lab pursues research directly tied to real-world medicine.

Hiroyasu Iwata, Professor
0 student voices
The Iwata Lab conducts research and development centered on robot technology (RT) that assists humans. Its work covers rehabilitation support, medical support, sports skill acquisition support, and a "third arm" that can be controlled at will. The lab designs its devices by focusing on how humans perceive and move, and on the mechanical properties of the human body. It works with hospitals and companies to bring its technologies into practical use, and also collaborates with other labs at the university on operator support for disaster-response robots and on electronic applications of nanosheets.

Shinjiro Umezu, Professor
0 student voices
Umezu Lab develops technologies at the micro and nano scale, targeting robots and living bodies. It creates technologies related to thin-film electronics, 3D printers, and AI. Its research covers a wide range, including 3D printers for use on the Moon, electronic devices attached to living bodies, and cyborg insects. Its research themes also include 3D printers that combine metal and resin, AI and IoT for healthcare, and printed electronics.

Kenji Takizawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Takizawa Lab develops computational techniques for fluid–structure interaction (FSI) and works to understand complex phenomena. Fluid–structure interaction refers to phenomena in which flow and structure affect each other, such as the deformation of a parachute or the beating of a heart. Using supercomputers, the lab investigates these phenomena through simulations that remain faithful to theory. The lab applies its computational techniques to a wide range of fields, including biotechnology, space engineering, and energy science.

Hiroyuki Ishii, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishii Lab develops robots and mechanical systems that coexist with a variety of living things, including humans, animals, and plants. It treats the interaction between living things and robots as a single closed loop and actively makes use of the adaptation that living things possess. In doing so, the lab aims to create new kinds of symbiotic relationships between living things and robots. Aiming at creative, hands-on making of things, the lab values thinking together with the people who will use the robots in the field, rather than keeping the work within the lab.

Masami Matsubara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Matsubara Lab studies mechanical materials and the mechanical systems made by combining them. The lab aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of machines that support modern society, such as transportation systems and heavy electrical equipment. To this end, it investigates the mechanisms that determine the structural mechanical properties and studies methods for designing them. Its main research areas are tire vibration, measurement by image processing, and evaluation of the physical properties of materials.
