The Molecular Tribology Lab specializes in research on "the science and technology of friction processes." The lab studies diverse friction processes individually while aiming for a unified understanding of them. Through collaboration across disciplines and among industry, government, and academia, the lab drives both science and technology forward and contributes to a sustainable society. On the lab's website, the lab is presented under the name "Nakano & Okubo Lab."

The Robotics and Production Systems Lab studies the programming of industrial robots and the manipulation of objects by robots. The lab works on ways to teach robots tasks easily, teaching based on camera images, and caging, which encloses an object so that it cannot escape. It also works on robots that assemble structures built from toy blocks, a robot that folds origami cranes, and traffic control for dump trucks in mines. Together with a research team at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the lab also conducts research using digital human models.

The Micro Robo-Mechanics Lab researches and develops precise, compact robot systems. Through the development of small robots and small actuators, the lab works on new technologies that take advantage of their compactness, light weight, energy saving, and environmental friendliness. The lab covers a wide range of areas: design, analysis, machining, assembly, measurement, control, and automation. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Fuchiwaki Lab."
Toshihiko Shiraishi, Professor

The Bio-Mechanical Systems Lab is interested in a wide variety of phenomena and studies methods for modeling and controlling them. Its research targets are fundamentally dynamic phenomena, and its research areas include vibration control, neural networks, cell mechanics, and complex systems. The lab aims to conduct world-leading research while training students who can view different themes in a unified way. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Shiraishi Lab."
Ryu Kato, Professor

The Cyber-Robotics Lab studies applications of Cyber-Robotics, a field that fuses humans and robots, to medicine, welfare, and rehabilitation. It works on myoelectric prosthetic hands that replace the motor function of people with upper-limb loss, and exoskeleton-type power-assist devices for the rehabilitation of finger paralysis. The lab approaches the question "What is a machine for the body that adapts to humans?" from an engineering standpoint, and its research covers everything from replacing bodily functions to augmenting them. The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Kato Lab."
Kei Fujisawa, Associate Professor

The Fluid Production Systems Lab studies vehicle motion, multiphase flow phenomena (gas-liquid two-phase flow and solid-liquid two-phase flow), and high-speed polishing through experiments and modeling. All of its research themes are related to automobiles and are carried out in collaboration with companies. In modeling, the lab is strong in machine-learning-based methods such as data assimilation and data-driven modeling. The lab was launched in April 2024 and places emphasis on industry-academia collaboration and an international outlook.

The Space Flight and Exploration Engineering Lab studies astrodynamics (the dynamics of space flight), which deals with the dynamics and control of vehicles flying in space. It tackles a wide range of issues, including trajectory optimization and attitude control of deep-space probes, vibration control of space structures, and actuator development. Associate Professor Takao came from the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) at JAXA, and still collaborates with it as a researcher in the university joint-use system. Many of the lab's themes are related to space science missions that are currently operating or being planned at JAXA.

The Wave Measurement Engineering Lab studies methods for measuring the internal viscoelasticity of a sample without destroying it. By developing measurement devices that use light and ultrasound, and by analyzing how elastic waves propagate, the lab aims to create new methods for measuring viscoelasticity. The measurement targets are wide-ranging, including biological samples, polymer materials, and metals. The lab is a new lab established at Yokohama National University in October 2025.
Kohki Mukai, Professor

The Optical and Quantum Materials Engineering Lab studies quantum dots and related topics under the keyword "controlling light with micro- and nanostructures." Its research themes include the synthesis of colloidal quantum dots, metamaterial photon emitters, and quantum dot superlattice solar cells. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals a few nanometers in diameter, and they attract attention because they give rise to various quantum effects. On the lab's website, the lab is presented under the name "Mukai Lab."
Osamu Umezawa, Professor

The Metal Physics Lab designs microstructures and studies their relationship to the deformation and fracture behavior of metallic materials. The lab's page carries the phrase "Take a look inside materials." The keywords listed include crystal structure and microstructure, electron microscopy, strain analysis, and deformation and fracture modeling.
