OVERVIEW

 

Thank you for your visiting our home page.

In our laboratory, we conduct research and development of precision, small robot systems.

We cover a wide range of areas, including design, analysis, processing, assembly, measurement, control, and automation.

Our laboratory, as of 2024, consists of one faculty member, five second-year master's students, five first-year master's students, four fourth-year undergraduate students, and three ROUTE students.

ADMISSION

 

Our lab is actively recruiting graduate students (Master's and PhD) from both inside and outside the university.

We welcome motivated individuals interested in mobile robots, manipulators, and actuators, and those who want to enhance their skills through research activities.

Example themes: Wireless control of small robots, cooperative work by multiple small robots

If you are interested in working on mechanisms, electronic circuits, or programming, we encourage you to consider joining our lab.

For more details or if you wish to visit the lab, feel free to contact Associate Professor Fuchiwaki directly via email.
