Based on engineering insights into human functions and senses, the Measurement and Information Engineering Lab aims to build new relationships between humans and machines, among machines, and among humans, and to realize a safe and secure social environment. Working with software and hardware related to vision, hearing, and somatosensation, the lab has pursued research on image processing, acoustic measurement, and bodily expression through body measurement. The lab focuses on robots that automate measurement and inspection in places that are hard for people to enter, such as structures, and on the measurement of face-to-face communication, in which people are always involved.

The Human-to-Robot Physical Intelligence Lab analyzes human body movement based on computational theories of robot motion and applies the findings to robot body design and to motion control and learning. Its goal is to realize robot systems that support people while interacting with them. Specifically, the lab works on motion control and learning for humanoids, deformation simulation and mechanism design for soft robots, learning and simulation of crowd flow, and human motion analysis. The lab's English name is Human-to-Robot Physical Intelligence Laboratory.

The Acoustic Systems Lab pursues peace of mind, safety, comfort, and richness of life by drawing on the relationships between sound and light and nature, people, art, food, and man-made objects. The lab mainly studies vibration phenomena, including acoustics. It investigates the properties of sound waves traveling through gases, liquids, and solids, as well as the mechanisms by which musical instruments produce sound. Computers are used in the research, but the lab also builds its experimental equipment by hand wherever possible, and works without drawing a line between hardware and software.

The Energy Systems Lab works on developing and implementing in society energy systems that address environmental impact, security, economic efficiency, and resilience, from the demand-side perspective. Building on systems engineering and power engineering, the lab conducts research spanning a wide range of academic fields, including mathematical programming and game theory. In addition to fundamental academic research, the lab actively engages in joint research and consulting with industry. Students can apply to join the lab from the College of Engineering Systems for undergraduate thesis research, and from the Degree Program in Structural Energy Engineering at the graduate level.
Takehiko Asai, Associate Professor

The Asai Lab conducts research aimed at developing smart vibration control technologies for structures subjected to external disturbances, as well as energy harvesting technologies. Energy harvesting is a technology that converts vibration energy into electrical energy. The lab was established at the University of Tsukuba in January 2016.
Daigoro Isobe, Professor

The Computational and Structural Engineering Lab uses analysis to study how buildings and nonstructural components move and break during earthquakes. Besides behavior during earthquakes, the lab lists fluid-structure interaction analysis, analysis and experimental systems for blast demolition of frame structures, and progressive collapse analysis among its research topics. Current students are working on developing analysis methods for timber frame structures and on collision analysis between transport vehicles and loaded pallet racks, among other topics. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Isobe Lab."
Kazuhiro Enami, Associate Professor

The Enami Lab studies measurement engineering, with precision measurement, image-based measurement, intelligent measurement, and three-dimensional shape measurement as its keywords. Associate Professor Kazuhiro Enami worked at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) on developing devices that measure the shape of accelerator cavities and similar components. At the University of Tsukuba, he has also been involved in research on the drag force acting on the human body while swimming and on the strength of niobium materials for accelerators. He also teaches courses such as Master's Special Research in Structural Energy Engineering.
Tetsuya Kanagawa, Associate Professor

The Theoretical Multiphase Fluid Dynamics Lab (Kanagawa Lab) theoretically studies flows with interfaces, such as multiphase flow and bubble dynamics, using mathematical equations. Centered on continuum mechanics, the lab incorporates perspectives from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and molecular dynamics. As applications, the lab extends its work to mathematical analysis of ultrasonic medical engineering, bubble dynamics in blood vessels, volcanic eruptions and seismic waves, and marine resource exploration. The lab states that liking hand calculation (or at least not disliking it) is the minimum requirement for doing research there.
Toshiyuki Kanakubo, Professor

The Architectural Structures Lab studies the mechanical behavior of building and civil engineering structures (infrastructure) and the physical properties of the materials used in them. The lab mainly takes an experimental approach, aiming to share methods for evaluating the performance and designing both existing structures and new structural systems. Its research includes strengthening concrete with fibers and continuous fiber reinforcement, and evaluating the performance of deteriorated structures. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the names "RC Laboratory" and "KANAKUBO Lab."
Akiko Kaneko, Professor

The Thermo-Fluid Control and Measurement Lab specializes in thermofluid engineering, multiphase flow, and the active control and detailed visualization measurement of heat transfer and fluid flow. Its research rests on four pillars: nuclear, space, environment, and microbubbles. The lab focuses on visualization using high-speed cameras, aiming to make invisible flows visible and clarify complex phenomena. The lab also actively pursues joint research with research institutions and private companies.
