Motoki Shino, Professor
0 student voices
Shino-Yoshitake Lab studies life-support engineering, the field that creates devices and systems that support people's daily lives. Drawing on mechanical dynamics, control engineering, and ergonomics, the lab uses sensors to measure the behavior, psychology, and physiology of people as they move around or use objects. Based on these results, the lab designs assistive devices and systems that lead to safe, secure, and comfortable lives. Through joint research with industry, local governments, and hospitals, the lab aims to gain not only academic knowledge but also practical experience and know-how.
Wakako Araki, Professor
0 student voices
Araki Lab studies next-generation battery materials, focusing on the mechanical properties of ion-conducting ceramics and on how ions move. The lab also works on the relationship between the structure and properties of solid electrolytes, and on applications to energy storage devices. By clarifying the relationship between the structure and properties of materials, the lab aims to improve the performance of next-generation batteries and to develop guidelines for designing new materials. The lab welcomes students who want to be involved in cutting-edge materials research and its applications from the perspective of mechanics of materials.
Takahashi Hideharu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies machine systems that can carry out work on their own, in support of smart agriculture and forestry. The lab works on remote sensing and robotics, technologies for restoring the environment and making use of unused resources, and zero-carbon energy. It is developing a system that tracks the sun to generate electricity, jointly with the Kikura Lab and others, and is also researching how to combine it with technologies for supplying power on site. In addition to its laboratory, the lab conducts research at the Smart Agriculture Education and Research Field on the Yokohama Campus.
Shingo Maeda, Professor
0 student voices
The Maeda Lab studies robots based on soft materials (soft matter). Its work covers a wide range, from soft actuators, soft pumps, and soft sensors that generate motion to soft robots. Focusing on the unique properties of soft materials, the lab explores life-like functions and develops a variety of devices. The lab participates in the Research Center for Autonomous Systems Materialogy (ASMat) and conducts research that spans fields such as mechanics, materials, physics, and AI.
Hiroshi Yamaura, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamaura Lab studies the analysis and control of the motion of dynamic systems such as machines. The lab works on control that builds models of the motion of cranes and robots and moves them while suppressing vibration, as well as control of the amount of load handled by construction machinery. It also studies computational methods for machines in which many parts are connected and move together, and the analysis of phenomena in which different things interact, such as soil and machinery.
Yoshihiro Mizutani, Professor
0 student voices
The Mizutani Lab studies how to inspect machines and structures without damaging them and how to evaluate their integrity. Using tiny sounds emitted by materials, ultrasonic waves, and electromagnetic induction, the lab finds internal flaws and pinpoints their locations. The lab also works on applying artificial intelligence (AI) to nondestructive testing and on controlling fracture in composite materials. Some of its topics are pursued as national projects or as joint research with JAXA.
Satoshi Miura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Miura Lab studies human-machine interfaces that connect people and machines, as well as robots for medicine and welfare. The lab builds both real surgical robots and VR simulators, and investigates how to design and control robots that are easy for surgeons to operate. It also develops rehabilitation technology that reads from brain waves the moment a person intends to move, and an original controller that lets users move a robot as if grasping it directly.
Yasuko Yanagida, Professor
0 student voices
The Yanagida Lab uses BioMEMS, a technology for building tiny devices, to study topics ranging from medicine and dentistry to ocean environment measurement. Its cross-disciplinary work includes research on how to handle cells, sensors that examine conditions in the mouth, and sensors that measure carbon dioxide in the ocean. The lab brings together students with a wide range of specialties, and applicants may come from any background.
Tanaka Tomohisa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies production and machining technologies that underpin manufacturing. It develops laser machining technology that controls the properties of light, and ultrasonic technology for creating fine surface textures and narrow, deep holes. The lab also studies how the structures of machines and machine tools vibrate, and develops dampers whose stiffness and damping performance can be adjusted.
Ryo Onishi, Professor
0 student voices
The Onishi Lab combines large-scale fluid simulation with data science to study turbulence in the environment. Using computations on supercomputers, it investigates turbulence inside clouds and phenomena of various scales in the atmosphere and ocean. The lab also works on building systems that predict fine-grained weather for individual city blocks by combining machine learning and data assimilation with predictive simulation.
