Satoshi Momozono, Project Professor
1 student voices
Momozono Lab studies tribology, the field that deals with friction, wear, and lubrication. At a collaborative research center established by NSK Ltd. on the Yokohama Campus, the lab works on rolling bearings. Young researchers from the company are stationed at the lab, so students can carry out their research in an environment with many people to consult. Opportunities to interact with labs at other universities are also arranged regularly, not only within the university.
Hiroshige Kikura, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Kikura Lab studies measurement and diagnostic technologies to improve the safety of nuclear reactors. Targeting light water reactors, fast reactors, and future reactor types, the lab conducts research based on process control, measurement, and diagnostic technologies. It also works on building a "science of recovery" aimed at the reconstruction of areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear disaster, and on developing remote measurement technologies that use robots.
Hiroki Nakanishi, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakanishi Lab studies new space systems that combine robotics and satellite technology. The lab works on technologies that assist astronauts or perform tasks in their place, as well as on-orbit servicing technologies for assembly, repair, and debris removal in space. The lab also conducts research on demonstrating robotics technologies in space using microsatellites. The lab is led by two faculty members: Professor Hiroki Nakanishi and Associate Professor Toshihiro Chujo.
Yoshifumi Nishida, Professor
1 student voices
The Nishida Lab studies 'Life-Centric Design,' which designs the lives of diverse people, including children and older adults, to be safe and easy to participate in. Using IoT and robotics, artificial intelligence, big data, and more, the lab aims to develop science and technology that takes constantly changing people and their lives as a given. The lab has an experimental room that simulates living environments, where it collects basic data by recreating the settings of partner nursery schools and home environments. The lab carries out its research in collaboration with research institutions, government bodies, on-site living labs, and local communities.
Masatoshi Kondo, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Kondo Lab studies liquid metal technology and new energy systems that use it. The lab advances liquid metal research targeting fusion reactors, accelerator-driven subcritical reactors, seawater desalination, and environmental purification. The lab's research style is to build experimental apparatus in-house, conduct experiments, and evaluate the results with models. Students can join the lab through the graduate entrance exams of either the School of Engineering (Department of Mechanical Engineering) or the School of Environment and Society (Department of Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering).
Rei Kawakami, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Kawakami Lab studies computer vision, image processing, and machine learning. The lab aims to solve the vision problems faced by autonomous systems that move around in open environments. Such systems face many challenges, including sensing, planning, responding to abnormal events, and updating their knowledge of the environment. The lab encourages those who want to take the graduate entrance exam for the Kawakami Lab to attend the department’s admissions information session.
Kazuhiro Nakadai, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakadai Lab studies technology that lets robots listen to sounds and understand their surrounding environment. To work in real places where noise and reverberation vary greatly, the lab combines sound source localization, sound source separation, and speech recognition. The technology developed so far has been released to the public as HARK, open-source software for robot audition. The lab handles not only sound but also video and other data, and is extending its work to interaction with people, observation of wild birds, and disaster rescue.
Motomu Nakashima, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakashima Lab views humans as systems and, from the perspectives of systems engineering and mechanical engineering, studies problems of humans and of systems that include humans. It pursues research from many angles in fields such as biomechanics, sports engineering, biorobotics, and assistive technology. The lab has developed "SWUM", a swimming mechanics simulator, and a swimming humanoid robot whose joints move throughout the whole body. The lab calls on students who are interested in these topics to join the lab.
Susumu Sato, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Sato Lab researches ways to reduce the environmental burden of automobiles. It measures, analyzes, and predicts the amounts of air pollutants and substances that cause global warming. It also analyzes and predicts the operations and movements of the people who drive vehicles. In its experiments, a vehicle equipped with instruments that measure exhaust emissions is driven on real roads to collect data.
Jun-Ichi Imura, Professor
1 student voices
The Imura Lab conducts research to build control theory that can be used in new domains. The systems it controls extend beyond machines to gene networks and to power and road traffic systems. The lab aims to build new control theory that can handle larger and more complex systems than before. Its research style is to work with experts in each field and support analysis and design from the theoretical side.
