Takeshi Morita, Professor
Imaging & Sensing2 student voices
The Acoustic Creation Engineering Lab studies ultrasonic devices and their applications. Many ultrasonic phenomena remain unexplained. The lab conducts a wide range of research, from fundamental technologies such as proposing original ultrasonic transducers to applied research based on new ideas, with the aim of solving social challenges. Its work includes motor control, surgical support robots, and the effects of ultrasound on cells.
Akio Yamamoto, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Ambient Mechatronics Lab studies devices such as actuators and sensors, as well as robotics and haptics technologies that use them. The lab aims to understand how people interact with the outside world, and to create mechatronic environments that naturally surround and support people. The lab works on thin actuators driven by electrostatic force, devices that reproduce and convey softness, robots powered by ambient heat, and more. The lab is based mainly at the Kashiwa Campus, and students from the Department of Precision Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering also belong to it.
Atsushi Yamashita, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Yamashita-An-Hamada Lab conducts research aimed at realizing robots that work in real-world environments. It uses image processing and sensor information processing, which reproduce the functions of human eyes and ears on computers, together with artificial intelligence, which serves as the robot's intelligence. The lab also studies how humans understand their environment and act within it, and works on developing devices that support human actions. The lab accepts undergraduate students from the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Precision Engineering, and graduate students from the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, Department of Human and Engineered Environmental Studies.
Tatsunori Hara, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems1 student voices
Hara Lab studies service engineering, a new interdisciplinary field. At first, the lab applied product development approaches to services and built design support systems for them. It has since expanded into research that starts from settings with a large human element, such as tourism information services and customer service. Now that the lab has resumed operations, it is working on service design using generative AI, measurement of customer experience, and collaboration between humans and machines.
Jun Ota, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Mobile Robotics Lab studies the nature of intelligence in robots and humans that are capable of locomotion and movement. It treats people moving through space, robots that support people, and the environments in which the two interact as a single integrated system. Using methods such as motion planning and optimization, the lab conducts research in robotics, service engineering, and production systems engineering. The lab aims to develop methods for designing systems in which many agents, including humans, move and act (multi-agent systems).
Yasushi Umeda, Professor
Environment & Sustainability1 student voices
The Umeda-Kishita Lab studies methods to support the design and production work that people carry out. In particular, the lab aims to model societal challenges, such as solving environmental problems and realizing a sustainable society, and to solve them through design. Its work includes design that takes the life cycle of industrial products into account, the design of scenarios that depict the future of society, and systems that support engineers working on the front lines of manufacturing.
Hidekazu Mimura, Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Mimura-Hosobata Lab studies manufacturing at extreme levels of precision. At the SPring-8 large synchrotron radiation facility and the SACLA X-ray free-electron laser, the lab develops microscopes, and with researchers in astronomy it makes telescope mirrors for observing the Sun. The lab also analyzes machining phenomena such as cutting, grinding, electrical discharge machining, and laser machining by high-speed imaging with synchrotron radiation X-rays. The lab designs and builds most of its precision machining equipment, measurement instruments, and microscopes itself.
Satoru Takahashi, Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Takahashi-Michihata Lab researches ultra-precision nanofabrication and measurement technologies that use light. In addition to the light long used on manufacturing floors, the lab also uses light localized in a very small region, such as evanescent light and near-field light, to explore the potential of light to support next-generation manufacturing. The lab's work is wide-ranging, from fundamental research on light beyond the diffraction limit to applied research on practical implementation that meets industry needs. The lab also proposes the Cell-in-Micro-Factory, a new production framework for microdevices.
Etsuko Kobayashi, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare1 student voices
The Medical Precision Engineering Lab combines engineering and medicine to gain a deep understanding of biological phenomena, and develops that knowledge into new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. The lab grew out of the Medical Precision Engineering chair, the first of its kind established within a faculty of engineering in Japan. The lab has Kobayashi, Nakagawa, and Tomii groups, working on surgical assistance robots, the interaction between acoustic waves and living bodies, ultrafast imaging, and biomeasurement that uses AI to interpret sensor signals. Faculty members, researchers, and students from a wide range of backgrounds, including medical doctors, are part of the lab, and it is also very active in joint research with clinical medicine.
Yutaka Ohtake, Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Ohtake Lab researches algorithms that put 3D data obtained from CT scans and optical scans to use in industry. Measuring shapes with high accuracy is a foundational technology for precision manufacturing. The lab works on shape measurement with X-ray CT, techniques for creating simulation data from the shapes of real objects, and geometric modeling for 3D printing. The lab works closely with Associate Professor Koyama's lab and operates as the Ohtake-Koyama Lab.
