Shoji Takeuchi, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences4 student voices
Takeuchi-Nie Lab researches "biohybrid systems" that combine living organisms and machines. Its motto is "Think Hybrid," blending fields such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information science, biology, chemistry, and materials science. Using MEMS, microfluidic devices, and tissue engineering, the lab works on a new approach to manufacturing that treats DNA, proteins, and cells as "components." Its research includes muscle-powered robots, odor sensors, cultured meat, and transplantable organs.
Kei Okada, Professor
Robotics & Control3 student voices
The Information Systems Engineering Lab (JSK) researches the functions and systems essential for intelligent robots that work in human society and living environments. From the perspectives of artificial intelligence, cognitive neuroscience, and biological systems, the lab works on humanoids (human-shaped robots) and other robots. The lab's research covers many differently shaped robots, such as musculoskeletal humanoids that imitate the human body and robots that fly while changing shape. The lab brings together people who learn alongside senior students and want to take on new challenges that have never been attempted before.
Fukao Takanori, Professor
Robotics & Control2 student voices
The Fukao-Nishio Lab studies field robotics, aiming to realize robots that work autonomously outdoors. Combining AI and robotics, the lab tackles head-on the uncertainty and difficulty of real environments. Its research targets include autonomous driving on narrow, rough roads, robots that automate work on vegetables and fruit trees, and drones that can work in harsh environments. Emphasizing field testing and implementation, the lab moves back and forth between theory and practice, aiming for early deployment in society.
Hirokazu Takahashi, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences2 student voices
The Takahashi-Shiramatsu Lab (Biological Intelligence Systems Lab) aims to understand the brain as a mechanical system and to build next-generation, brain-like information processing systems. The lab measures and analyzes patterns of neural activity spread across time and space to clarify how the brain represents information. Its research covers neural circuits of many scales, from cultured neurons to the brains of rats and humans. The research is carried out mainly by students trained in mechanical engineering, who approach the brain from the perspective of "reverse engineering" it.
Misato Nihei, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Nihei Lab researches technologies that support the lives of people with disabilities and older adults. The lab values both inexpensive, easy-to-use assistive products for everyday life and new technologies such as AI and robotics. The lab holds that it is important to think deeply not only about how far to advance technology, but also about what it is being advanced for. The lab sees technology as something that creates environments in which people can be more tolerant toward one another.
Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Kuniyoshi-Nakajima Lab (Intelligent Systems and Informatics Lab) studies new theories and technologies toward truly intelligent robotic systems. To understand intelligence scientifically, the lab focuses on embodiment, emergence, cognitive development, and sociality. The lab also develops the machine learning and other methods needed to solve these problems, as well as hardware such as sensors and actuators, and works on applying the technologies in society.
Kuzuoka Hideaki, Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Kuzuoka-Tanikawa-Narumi Lab studies "cybernetic interfaces," which unite humans and computers. Starting from virtual reality (VR) technology, the lab works on technology for creating three-dimensional virtual spaces from live-action video, as well as augmented reality. Its research also covers interfaces that engage not only vision and hearing but also the five senses, including touch, smell, taste, and satiety, as well as lifelogging, which records daily life. The lab's research goes beyond developing technology to applying it in society, such as in museums and public art.
Tatsuya Harada, Professor
AI & Machine Learning1 student voices
The Harada-Kurose-Mukuta Lab conducts research that extracts useful information from the real world and combines it with the vast data and computational power of cyberspace. Its goal is advanced intelligent systems capable of understanding the real world, generating content, and discovering knowledge. The lab carries out its research using computer science in general, including mathematical foundations and robotics. Its research targets include image recognition, 3D information processing, research combining images and language, and intelligent robots.
