Shinichiro Nomura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nomura (S.)-Matsubayashi Lab builds "artificial cells" made of human-designed molecular systems. By incorporating molecules such as DNA and proteins into microscale sacs made of lipid membranes, the lab seeks to reproduce some of the functions of cells. The lab studies assemblies of molecules that move automatically according to a program, which it calls AutoMatter. As part of the molecular robotics field, the lab holds lab seminars and lab events together with the Murata Lab.
Shuji Tanaka, Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies MEMS, which are sensors and actuators made by semiconductor microfabrication. If LSIs are the brains of a machine, MEMS correspond to its sensory organs, so they can also be described as devices that connect people and machines. MEMS are widely used as pressure sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and microphones, and are built into smartphones and cars. The Tanaka Lab puts particular emphasis on industry-academia collaborative research and is carrying out joint research with many companies.
Takashiro Tsukamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tsukamoto Lab is a lab in the Smart Systems Integration Field of the Department of Robotics, Graduate School of Engineering, and is introduced on the same website as the Tanaka Lab. The research group on this website works on the research and development of MEMS and micro- and nano-technologies. MEMS are small sensors and actuators made by semiconductor microfabrication, and they are used in smartphones, cars, and more. The research group on this website targets MEMS that use functional materials, MEMS integrated with integrated circuits, MEMS based on nanotechnology, and new biomicrodevices for its research and development.
Yoshiaki Kanamori, Professor
0 student voices
The Kanamori Lab studies technologies that manipulate light using artificial optical materials not found in nature (metamaterials). Using structures smaller than the wavelength of light, made by microfabrication, the lab aims for light control that has not been possible before. The lab also combines biomimetic optics, which imitates the structures and functions of living organisms, with optical MEMS, which moves light using tiny machines. The lab aims to realize innovative light-control devices and sensor devices and to put them to practical use in society.
Naoki Inomata, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Inomata Lab studies microsensors made by microfabrication and the measurement technologies built on them. The lab measures tiny changes in physical quantities that only small sensors can capture. Its work includes human sensing, which measures biomolecules, cells, and people, and interfaces that connect them with machines. The lab aims to develop technology and engineering that can measure what existing techniques could not even observe.
Yoichi Haga, Professor
0 student voices
Haga-Tsuruoka Lab uses microfabrication technology to develop small, highly functional medical devices. Using MEMS technology, the lab builds devices for minimally invasive medicine, such as endoscopes, catheters, and surgical instruments. It extends the same technology to healthcare, developing thin, lightweight, wearable health-monitoring devices. In the long term, the lab aims to realize robotic surgery and microsurgery performed from inside the body.
Mami Tanaka, Professor
0 student voices
Tanaka (Mami) Lab studies tactile sensors and the application of sensors and actuators to the medical field. The lab believes that new sensors and actuators are needed to advance machine automation and human-machine cooperation. It is developing flexible tactile sensors with the sensitivity of a human finger, and palpation probes for prostate cancer and breast cancer. The lab also works on micro/macro mechatronics, which combines measurement and automatic control.
Takuya Mabuchi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Mabuchi Lab studies the structures formed by biomolecules and polymers, and the behavior of ions moving within them. Using molecular simulation, the lab uncovers phenomena in a tiny world that is difficult to observe experimentally. Based on these findings, the lab designs highly efficient, highly functional molecules from theory. Working with experimental groups, the lab aims at a wide range of applications, from building artificial cells and molecular systems to drug discovery.
Kimitoshi Yamazaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamazaki-Bezerra Lab studies robots that perceive, move, and manipulate objects in real-world environments. Robots are increasingly working in places not originally built for them, such as homes, city streets, and disaster sites. The lab aims to develop robots that can handle flexible materials such as cloth and cables, objects that are hard to model, uncertainty, and changing environments. Rather than stopping at demonstrations, the lab places importance on building robot systems that actually work.
