Jun Kameoka, Professor
0 student voices
The Kameoka Lab studies biosensors that measure information from the body and the IoMT that connects them to the internet. The IoMT rests on three technologies: biosensing devices, internet communication systems, and data processing in the cloud. The lab believes that combining these three will make it possible to detect abnormalities in patients with chronic diseases immediately and from a remote location. Beyond healthcare, applications are expected in fields such as agriculture, dairy farming, food safety, and water quality monitoring.
Yves Lepage, Professor
0 student voices
The Lepage Lab studies example-based machine translation and natural language processing. With the spread of the web, text written in the world's languages has grown rapidly, and the need to obtain information in other languages is increasing. The example-based approach in natural language processing aims to combine a low cost of application with the ability to generate language productively. The lab is clarifying the form of this example-based approach and applying it to tasks such as automatic generation of multilingual dictionaries, paraphrasing, and automatic translation.
Takafumi Matsumaru, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsumaru Lab aims to build better relationships between people and machines, and takes up the various phenomena that occur between the two. Its goal is to make systems that people have built friendlier and easier for people to use. The lab always keeps in mind the link between its research topics and real everyday life, and designs robots and mechatronic systems that are actually useful. It combines existing technologies to achieve the required functions, and also develops on its own the elemental technologies that do not yet exist.
Osamu Yoshie, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshie Lab researches the development and use of information technology that supports manufacturing, a field in which Japan excels. Using networks such as the Internet, it collects the various kinds of information needed for production and organizes it into forms that people can use easily. To this end, it designs intelligent software that uses artificial intelligence, and methods that let people and software interact naturally. The lab pursues both practicality, so that its work can actually be used on production floors, and novelty, so that it changes production methods and ways of doing business.
Yuya Ieiri, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ieiri Lab explores forms of interaction centered on people, society, and culture. As information and communication technology and artificial intelligence advance, new gaps sometimes arise between technology and people's values, culture, and relationships with one another. The lab therefore aims to create information systems and design methods that help technology and people build better relationships. Moving back and forth between theory and demonstration in real-world field settings, it pursues both the novelty of technology and its practical usability.
Masao Arakawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Arakawa Lab studies the systematic framework of design for creating better products. It used to be enough to improve performance, but now designers must also consider what users have not yet noticed. The lab's central theme is therefore to establish methods for conceiving better concepts and advancing design toward them. Multi-objective optimization is the pillar of this work, and the lab is developing it as a method that can be extended to many fields.
Kenji Hashimoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Hashimoto Lab aims to build robots that surpass the abilities of humans and animals, targeting land, sea, and air, and in the future space environments as well. It works on mobile robots, including legged robots such as humanoids, wheeled and flying robots, and hybrid robots that combine them. Beyond hardware development, the lab also tackles software challenges such as recognizing the surrounding environment, trajectory planning, and whole-body motion generation. Working with developers of component technologies and infrastructure, robot businesses, and others, the lab aims to create a society in which people and robots can be active together easily.
Kazuma Mawatari, Professor
0 student voices
The Mawatari Lab studies micro/nanofluidic devices carved with channels thinner than a human hair. Chemical, biological, and medical analysis requires handling liquids, and it has been difficult to make devices from which information can be easily extracted. The lab therefore combines devices, measurement and analysis, and information technology to build systems that capture information about the environment, food, viruses, and blood. It also works on fundamental research on liquids in nanospace and on single-cell analysis, carrying out interdisciplinary research that spans chemistry, biotechnology, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering.
Takeo Miyake, Professor
0 student voices
The Miyake Lab studies bioiontronics, which connects living bodies and devices. The human body is soft and works through the exchange of ions, whereas electronic devices are hard and work through the control of electrons. To organically integrate these contrasting materials, the lab is developing original technologies that combine devices with soft materials that blend in with the body. Its research targets include biopower generation devices, wearable devices, and implantable devices.
Eiichiro Tanaka, Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab aims to devise and build the mechanisms of machines that are useful to people. If the machines it designs make life safer, more comfortable and convenient, and also last a long time, people's quality of life (QOL) improves. To this end, the lab works on machine diagnosis and analysis technologies and on developing life-support devices that support daily living. Its themes are wide-ranging, including walking assist devices, standing-up assist devices, and laser-based gear fault diagnosis.
