Fuchiwaki Laboratory is associated jointly with the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Yokohama National University (YNU).

We specialize design, analysis, manufacture, control, measurement, and automation for creating unique and energy-efficient miniature mechanism, robot, and robotic factory.

Current members are 1 Associate Professor, 11 Graduate Students for master thesis, 4 Undergraduate undergraduate Studentsstudents for graduate thesis, and 3 undergraduate students for ROUTE project.

Fuchiwaki laboratory has been working on the design, analysis, manufacture and experiment.

We are recruiting Graduate Students (master or doctor) both inside and outside of YNU.

Those who are interested in design of miniature robots or actuators, and are eager to following research are welcome:

・Wirelessization of insect-sized holonomic robots

・Automation of cooperative works organized by multiple robots

Also, if you are interested in electrical/electronic circuit or programming, please consider to participate in our laboratory.

If you have any questions or desire visiting us, feel free to contact fuchilab@ml.ynu.ac.jp.

Students in our laboratory belong to

・Undergraduate: Faculty of Engineering Science/Mechanical Engineering EP
