Toshio Takayama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Takayama Lab studies the development of new devices, centered on mechanisms that move in unusual ways. The lab builds mechanisms that can be used in mobile robots, robotic hands, and medical devices, and has recently also put effort into developing microfluidic devices. The lab is equipped with machine tools, microscopes, and other equipment, and develops devices with unprecedented motions through trial and error.
小林 恒, Project Professor
0 student voices
The Kobayashi-Matsuura Lab analyzes and designs machine elements such as gears, and studies the technology for manufacturing them. As the JTEKT Innovative Fundamental Technology Joint Research Chair, the lab works on developing technologies for gears and other components used in automobiles and robots. The lab also aims to develop robot systems built around new machine elements, as well as machines for fields that strengthen society, such as welfare, medicine, and disaster response.
Shinji Tanaka, Project Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies tribology to improve the performance of hydraulic equipment and machine elements such as gears in construction machinery. The lab visualizes lubrication conditions and investigates how material surfaces and lubricants relate to sliding characteristics. As a lab of the Komatsu Innovative Technology Co-creation Laboratory, a joint research hub established by Komatsu and the university, it conducts research toward the electrification of construction machinery.
Yoshihiro Harada, Project Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Harada-Kato Lab studies the phenomena that occur in ink droplets during inkjet printing. It is a lab of a collaborative research chair jointly established by the Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology) and Ricoh Company, Ltd. With industry and academia working as one, the lab tackles the elucidation of complex phenomena specific to inkjet, such as the evaporation, penetration, drying, and fixation of ink droplets.
Kazuyoshi Fushinobu, Professor
0 student voices
The Fushinobu Lab conducts research to advance a variety of cutting-edge devices from the perspective of thermal engineering and energy engineering within mechanical engineering. The lab works on thermal issues in automotive electronics, digital printing, and laser-based processing and measurement. The lab is run in collaboration with the Harada-Kato Lab, the Nagasawa Lab, and the Kim Byeong-gi Lab.
Joon-Wan Kim, Professor
0 student voices
The Kim Lab studies micromechatronics based on a new principle, using electro-conjugate fluid (ECF). The lab applies ECF to actuators, sensors, and control systems, for example by using small pumps driven by ECF jets (micropumps) as hydraulic pressure sources. For fabrication, the lab combines MEMS technology and ultraprecision machining. It also studies soft fingers and hands driven by ECF, and lenses with variable focus.
Yoshida Takako, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshida Lab (Applied Brain Science Lab) studies how to apply brain science to engineering. The lab investigates human senses and brain function, aiming to improve the affinity between people and machines from the standpoint of the user's experience. Its research keywords include vision, touch, teleoperation, and virtual reality.
Gen Endo, Professor
0 student voices
Based on robotics, the Endo Lab studies practical robot systems for solving social problems. The lab clarifies the problem, searches for the best form and method to solve it, and then realizes it in an actual machine to confirm its usefulness. So that research does not become research for its own sake, the lab seeks the simplest and most efficient solution from an engineering standpoint. The real appeal of the research is being able to turn an idea you have envisioned into a real object, from design through assembly to making it move.
Tomohiro Nozaki, Professor
0 student voices
Based on thermal engineering, reaction engineering, plasma chemistry, catalytic chemistry, and materials science, the Nozaki Lab conducts research on energy and the environment. The lab develops environmentally harmonious chemical reaction processes, such as carbon recycling, and the functional materials they require. It also studies reactions that use non-equilibrium plasma to turn carbon dioxide into a resource. Based on mechanical engineering, the lab carries out interdisciplinary research and education across fields.
Atsushi Hirata, Professor
0 student voices
The Hirata-Aono Lab conducts research on enhancing the functions of material surfaces, in the fields of mechanical materials and materials processing. Surfaces are required to have many functions, such as strength, lubricity, and resistance to heat and chemical change. Making use of nanoscale phenomena, the lab works on synthesizing nano-carbon materials, fabricating thin films, and laser processing. The lab covers a wide range of themes, from fundamental research to development-oriented research.
